Marching Band is a performance-based class which is co-curricular in nature. This is a volunteer organization. Students must be enrolled in concert band or orchestra in order to participate in the woodwind, brass, or percussion sections. Out-of-class rehearsals and performances are required and are included in the students final grade. The Marching Blue Devils is an ensemble that functions as a competitive marching band and competes at the regional, state, and national level, as well as at all home varsity football games, community events and concerts.
The Marching Blue Devils meet for two weeks, prior to the start of school, from 9am to 5pm Monday through Friday and then rehearses Tuesday and Thursday evenings from 6pm to 9pm from August through November. Contests take place most Saturdays from September through November throughout the Midwest.
