HelloBandFamilies,
Marching Band Registration is now open for the 2025 season! We're excited to announce the new show "Cleared for Takeoff" with custom music and drill to highlight our amazing students with music from "Where the Streets Have No Name", Ellington's "Rhapsody in Blue", "We Overcome the Wind" and more! The marching band has no prerequisite, other than for instrumentalists to be registered for band at the high school in the fall. The exception is with members of the colorguard. The group is the largest activity in numbers within the district and we'd love for you and/or your student to be involved as we will have an incredible show this upcoming year!
Many students and families receiving this email have participated in the past, and we also welcome new members during any year of their time in high school. Every year we have students try marching band for their first time either looking for more resume opportunities, more experiences with their friends, or just to try a new thing! We have had students join later in 10th-12th grade years, switch instruments for the season, or opt to make a switch between percussion, winds, and colorguard. You name it, someone's done it. We welcome all that would like to participate.
Registration for Marching band opens Feb 24th - Mar. 14th. Please go to our amazing booster page and follow the links to marching band for access to the current calendar, handbook, registration, and additional information! If this is your first time, the process is numbered for your convenience. The process can seem a little daunting particularly for new members, so the most important thing is the google form registration so we are aware of your interest and intent to participate. As you go to submit fees, please only click once as the submission button can take a moment to process.
Interested in color guard or percussion? We have intro meetings for you to attend and give it a test run before officially registering. This is to get a feel for these subdivisions of the marching band. It's an opportunity to show your skills and try out your interests. You'll also meet the instructors and get more information!
Percussion: 3/2 & 3/9 7-9pm in the high schoolbandroom
Colorguard: 2/26-2/28 4:30-6:00pm in the high schoolbandroom
Please feel free to reach out with any questions you may have to erothacker@mcpasd.k12.wi.us. From clubs, to sports, to travel teams, to hobbies, you name it, someone has done it along withmarchingband. We want your student to be involved in all the activities they enjoy.
Hope to see you soon!
