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 currently getting ready for Band Camp and all the excitement that goes along with it!
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.
