Marching Band
All students enrolled in band
participate in Marching Band. Membership is open to qualified students,
grades 9-12. The Marching Band is in operation during the first semester
of the school year and, generally, does not exist after UIL Marching
Contest or the last football game, whichever comes last. Twirlers and
Flags are auxiliary units of the Marching Band. Members of these groups
follow the same regulations and schedules of the band, in addition to
their own specific guidelines. To see what goes on during "off
season", visit the Wind
Ensemble page.
While student officers are given
instructional responsibilities and are considered part of the Band Staff,
the Director of Bands and the Assistant Directors are in constant
supervision of all groups.
The Marching Band is a
performance-based unit, so attendance at all rehearsals, performances and
classes is extremely important.
The Marching Band and Flag Corps
rehearse after school from 3:45-5:15 p.m. or 4:00-5:30 p.m., Monday
through Thursday. Only in the case of a Saturday game will a rehearsal be
held on a Friday afternoon.
The Marching Band only prepares one
marching show each year, with the exception of Playoff Game halftime
shows which generally consist of pep music and very little field
movement.
