SPIRIT OF NORTH RAIDER MARCHING BAND
The North Farmington Spirit of North Raider Marching Band: 2021 Season Information Meeting Presentation and important Spring Dates:
Important Information
In spite of the pandemic, the Spirit of North Raider Marching Band had a very successful season last year. While we expect that while the 2021 season will not be quite 'back to normal', we are planning a Spring Marching Band, cumulating in a parade (and along with our customary picnic and epic water fight). Further details will be posted as they are developed -thanks for your patience!
Spring Marching Band is a great way to try out Marching Band without making a commitment for the Fall Season. Rehearsals run a few hours after school a couple of days each week during the month of May. We traditionally play and march in the Farmington Memorial Day Parade (not yet confirmed for 2021), and this year we are hoping to be able to participate in a spring NFHS Homecoming Parade as well. Again, details are still TBD.
Any student musician is welcome in the Marching Band -obviously percussion and band instrument students - but orchestra and choir students are also welcome. We are great at finding the right role for each musician! Additionally, non musicians are welcome in Color Guard (no experience necessary) Current 8th graders thru current 12th graders may participate in Spring Marching Band this year. Marching Band is a great way to get to know a wonderful collection of NFHS students during the spring and summer, before High School starts in the fall. In addition to rehearsals, we have a variety of fun activities and fund raising events.
