Marching Band General Information
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 Orchestra or Choir students as well, and we're always looking for Color Guard members.
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. A bus will be provided from the Warner & STEAM 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!

During the 2018 season, the Marching Band performed at all the home Football Games, as well as the MSBOA District Marching Band Festival. Additionally the Marching Band Drumline attended and performed at PASIC (Percussion Arts Society International Conference) in Indianapolis.
Marching Band Camp
Marching Band Camp this year will be at Camp Manitou-lin (same as usual) but a week later than last year. Plan to be at camp August 11 thru August 17th.
Marching Band Payments
See the document below 02 Camp Pickup & Invoice for details on Marching Band Fees. The fees are generally paid in four equal monthly payments by 4/15, 5/15, 6/15 and 7/15. We understand for new Marching Band members that it might make sense to wait until after Spring Marching Band to make the first payments --a great place to do that will be at the annual picnic after the Memorial Day parade at North on May 27th. You may make online Marching Band Payments at any time here.
