4/2/24 - Marching Band 2024 Registration Now Open!

Hello Band Families,


Marching Band Registration is now open for the 2024 season! We're excited to announce the new show "Lined with Gold" with custom music and drill to highlight our amazing students with music from "Everything In Its Right Place," "Hymn of Acxiom," "The Bridge" and Philip Glass' "The End of Dracula." 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 the first time, either looking for more resume opportunities, more experiences with their friends, or just trying 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 who would like to participate. 


RegistrationforMarchingbandopens April 1st - April 12th. 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.


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 not a tryout, as we do not cut members. It's an opportunity to show your skills and try out your interests. 

Percussion: 4/4 & 4/11 7-9 pm in the high school band room (1211)

Colorguard: 4/8-4/11 4:30-6:00 pm meeting in the high school band room (1211)


Please feel free to reach out with any questions you may have at erothacker@mcpasd.k12.wi.us.  We pride ourselves on being a non-auditioned group with no cuts that has many student athletes also involved! From clubs to sports, to travel teams, to hobbies - you name it - someone has done it along with marching band. We want your students to be involved in all the activities they enjoy.


Hope to see you soon!
