Pep Band
    

 

The Basketball Band is open to any seventh- and eighth-grade band student.  We use all band instruments plus the drum set for our performances.  Students attend rehearsals to prepare for the basketball season and then attend as many games as our schedule will allow.  Please check below for the schedule of rehearsals and performances.  

The last three years we performed for multiple home games and usually had between 30 and 45 students performing.  The group was great and was really involved in games going down to the buzzer.  Come out and have lots of fun with the Pep Band!
