2019 Marching Band Performances
TBD -As soon as we know, you'll know.
Marching Band Information
There is a 2019 Marching Band Season Information Meeting for students and parents scheduled for March 11, at 7pm in the NFHS Rehearsal Room.
Note that all current 8th grade band students are encouraged to join Marching Band. In some instances, current 7th grade students can also join. Often there are roles for orchestral students as well, and we're always looking for Color Guard members.
Even if your student isn't sure, please attend the information meeting. There's a great opportunity to get a taste of Marching Band during the spring MB season. Typically, during the month of May, the Band learns a few simple pieces and marching techniques in preparation for marching in the Memorial Day Parade. There's usually a bus provided from the middle school(s) to NFHS on the rehearsal days, after school. This is a great way to see if Marching Band is right for you, without making the full commitment for the fall season. Marching Band is a great way to make some friends before High School, get involved with a great bunch of people, and have a ton of fun!
