Hello, marching band students and families. Marching band camp came to a close today, and we're so proud of all of our participating students this year! In just over two weeks, they have put the entire show on the field, music, and drill! We're excited to see how much this band can achieve in the time left in the season! Please make sure you keep working on your music and reviewing your drill, as rehearsals become limited once the school year begins.
Band Senior Night/First Football Game
Call time for band students is 5:20 pm. If this is your first time doing a football game, it's recommended you show up earlier in case you forget something. You'll need to wear your show shirt under your uniform.
This will be a halftime performance about halfway through the game (time dependent on the speed of the game)! It is also band parent night! Please consider attending the game and supporting your students!
Our boosters will also be hosting a marching band tailgate before the game for families! Please see below for a brief message from our incredible boosters:
As we get ready to cheer on the Marching Band at the start of their competition season, we welcome all marching band parents to "Nacho Average Tailgate" before the football game on Friday, September 6th. Please join us for nachos and more, in the MHS north commons from 5:30pm-7pm. Cost is free; donations accepted.
First competition 9/22 (Waukesha North)
We do not yet have the exact timeline for this competition as they are sent out by the organizations. Please try to plan for the entire day, and we'll send an email with a schedule as soon as we know.
First practices/rehearsals during the school year
Our first practice of the school year is during ASR (during the school day) on Sept. 12th. If you're new to ASR, you'll sign up for band (or already be requested) and then head immediately to the band room or the field. Check the band app for an update on which one. Sept. 13th is an under-the-lights rehearsal 6-9 pm. Please be on time, as we have only 10 rehearsals until state!
