HOT OFF THE PRESS
DC Showcase is always an exciting milestone because it marks the unofficial start of competition season!
Each year, marching bands from across Douglas County come together for their first competition-style performances of the season. While there are no scores or rankings, students get the chance to put their shows on the field in front of an audience and experience the energy of performing alongside other bands before the competitive season officially begins.
More importantly, DC Showcase is about community. It’s an opportunity for students to cheer one another on, see what their fellow musicians have been working on, and build camaraderie among the marching bands throughout our county.
It’s also the perfect chance to shake out those early-season jitters! With our first competition coming up on Saturday, DC Showcase gave our students an opportunity to perform, learn, build confidence, and get excited for everything ahead.
Competition season is officially here! We're so excited to see where the season takes us!
DCHS vs. DAKOTA RIDGE
August 28, 2026
The DCHS Marching Band hit the field for their first performance of the year at our first home football game vs Dakota Ridge! The kids had a blast, we learned a lot, and we got our first taste of what this season has in store.
This is just the beginning, and we can’t wait to see how far this group goes! Go Huskies!
BACK TO SCHOOL BASH
August 21, 2026
Our Back to School Bash was a great way to kick off the year! The marching band and color guard welcomed students and families with a high-energy performance that had parents and teachers commenting on how much fun they were having and what a great year it looks like we have ahead of us.
We also got to meet some future band and guard members at our booth, where elementary and middle school students tried their hand at spinning a guard flag and playing a snare drum. Best of all, several eighth graders stopped by and told us they’re interested in joining next year. We’d call that a pretty successful night!
We are thrilled to welcome our newest staff member, Matthew Morton!
Matthew is an alumni of DCHS and is excited to return as a teacher!
He marched at the Academy Drum & Bugle Corps and the Blue Knights Drum & Bugle Corps. He has also been a part of some indoor percussion ensembles.
Our band, and our percussion section in particular, is so lucky to have Matthew on board!
July 25, 2026
The DCHS Huskie Pride Marching Band made their 2026 debut today at the Douglas County Fair Parade in downtown Castle Rock. You can tell they have been working hard all week at band camp! They looked and sounded so good! We're so excited for the season ahead!
