Marching band and color guard can feel like their own world with new terms, traditions, and a culture that can be overwhelming at first. We want parents and families to feel welcomed into that world, supported, and confident in understanding what they’re seeing on the field. Our goal is to help you appreciate the incredible amount of work, skill, and artistry your students are putting into the show so you can enjoy the full experience right alongside them.
We're sharing a general outline of the marching band season now—even before all the dates are finalized—so families can get a clear sense of the commitment, excitement, and opportunities ahead. While exact schedules are still being confirmed, this overview helps you plan, understand the rhythm of the season, and see just how much fun and growth your student will experience along the way.
Jazz and concert band can feel intimidating at first, especially if the music is unfamiliar, but we want parents and families to feel completely comfortable in this world. Our goal is to help you understand and appreciate what you’re seeing and hearing. As you learn more about each style and the unique challenges they bring, we hope you’ll enjoy watching your student grow as a musician and feel confident celebrating their progress every step of the way.
