Marching Band

The Emerald Regiment and Green & Gold Band provides the entertainment at home football games, school assemblies and events throughout the season.  By the end of fall marching, all band students will have performed before thousands of spectators at numerous football games, parades, pep rallies, and competitive marching festivals.

Emerald Regiment

The Emerald Regiment is a competitive musical & visual marching unit organized during the fall semester for the duration of the football season.  The color guard plays a major role in the Emerald Regiment adding visual interpretation to the music.

The Emerald Regiment members are made up of students from any of our 3 concert ensembles plus some volunteer color guard members.  Those in the competitive marching band must attend all home football games, civic/school parades, Friday or Saturday competitions, before and after school rehearsals, and a two week band camp prior to the start of school.  Please be aware if a student misses a week or more of band camp, he/she is NOT guaranteed their own spot/dot in the show.  Please be aware that all new marchers (someone that did not march the previous year) are NOT guaranteed their own spot/dot in the show.  Getting your own spot as a new marcher will depend on the ability to display proper basic marching techniques and/or the instrumentation make-up of the ensemble.  

Summer rehearsals are mandatory.  We ask that families plan carefully around our summer rehearsals.  If there are major conflicts with our summer schedule, that could jeopardize a student’s place in our field show.

Once school starts, the Emerald Regiment (competitive marching band) rehearses Monday through Friday morning beginning at 7:00 a.m.  Percussion and color guard members have additional regularly scheduled rehearsals after school or in the evening.  The full band will have one evening rehearsal a week.  We will also have some Saturday rehearsals in early fall.

Green & Gold Band

The Green & Gold Band (non-competitive marching band made up from any student in a concert ensemble not already in Emerald Regiment) attends all home football games (participating in Pre-game and stand tunes), and school/civic parades. Students wanting to participate in the Green and Gold band can commit to the ensemble within the first two weeks of school.  There will be some before and after school rehearsals to learn the music and simple drill to be a part of the performance.  These students typically start performing the 2nd home game of the year.

The Emerald Regiment and Green & Gold Band combine to provide entertainment at home football games, school assemblies and events throughout the season.  By the end of fall marching, all band students will have performed before thousands of spectators at numerous football games, parades, pep rallies, and competitive marching festivals.
