All active percussion students are a part of a Percussion Ensemble class in the fall semester to concentrate on the variety of skills necessary to be a well rounded percussionist. Every member of this class is a part of the marching band during the fall semester and play in the concert bands or percussion ensemble in the Spring. Percussionists sometimes require additional rehearsals to be involved fully. Students in the marching battery percussion should plan on not being involved in other clubs or activities during the fall semester as the schedule with band will be very busy. Some percussionists will be part of the “Cadet Drumline” which are therefore Cadet Marching Band members and will not have a performance position in the competitive marching band. Percussionists also have special performance opportunities through percussion ensembles and optional steel drum band.
The CLHS Jazz Ensemble performs at concerts and at festivals in the spring semester. Opportunities are also provided for students to learn to improvise. Instrumentation is usually limited to the traditional jazz band instrumentation of saxes, trumpets, trombones, and a rhythm section. Other performance opportunities may arise to perform in the community or for school or district functions. The Jazz Band also participates in the ALL REGION JAZZ audition process as well as performances throughout the year.
The CLHS Color Guard is the Visual component of the CLHS Hawk Marching Band. Students perform weekly at football games and pep rallies as well as perform at community events such as the Comal County Fair and the Sattler Christmas Parade. No experience is necessary for color guard membership. We will teach you everything you will need to know to be successful.
