Marching Cadets

Each Fall, band members are introduced to the fundamentals of marching band through participation in the Crestwood Marching Band. The effect is stunning as the Marching Cadets take the field to present their Fall shows!

The first nine weeks of school is the most active season for our high school band members, as they are featured in several public performances and adjudicated marching festivals. Because marching band is a co-curricular performance based ensemble, our success greatly depends on the efficiency and productivity of every rehearsal. Additional sectionals may be called on an as-needed basis before or after school by section leaders or the director. Letter points are awarded to all those present at student led sectionals if a report if submitted by a section leader.

The 2026 Marching Band Field Show is entitled Time After Time. Music Selections include Clocks by Coldplay and Time After Time by Cyndi Lauper.
