SUMMER Sectionals

Spring rehearsals and the June Camp are DONE and the 2024 GBHS Marching Band is set to go! It is going to be a very exciting season for the marching band.

Even though it is summer, it is important for us to continue to refine our musical and physical skills. Summer sectionals are on Thursdays starting on June 27th until we start Pre-Camp (July 22nd). Rehearsals are from 6pm - 9pm in the HS Band Room.

Below are some helpful links, contact information, dates, and other useful information for the summer. Please take a moment to read through everything so you stay in the loop.

Thursdays from 6:00pm - 9:00pm:

Minute-by-minute schedules will be posted to the BAND app for students to see. Please check the GBMB Members BAND page for that information!

Each performer is responsible for his/her own equipment. Wind and brass players are expected to have their instruments in good working condition at every rehearsal. Percussionists are required to have their own sticks. Color guard will be assigned equipment at a later date.

The proper clothing is a must. Sneakers (no high-tops, please) must be worn at all times. Loose fitting clothing is required for marching and movement.

The GBHS Band Program has a long-standing tradition of excellence. Our students develop a tremendous work ethic to carry on that tradition with each new band year. The GBHS Band Program continues to move in new directions in music making. We look back on the past with pride and respect, and we reach for the future with new goals and determination.

It is the mission of the Grand Blanc Community Schools and the Grand Blanc Music Department, as an innovative leader in providing quality and equitable education, to develop all individuals to their highest potential for living in an ever changing world. All students involved in our program will be pushed and stretched to reach and obtain their goals.
