The Monarch Marching Band is an extra curricular activity offered through the band program. 150+ members strong, this ensemble performs at halftime during football games, the Papillion Days and the La Vista Days parades, as well as travels to competitions throughout the fall. The Monarch Marching Band consistently places well at state competitions and festivals.
Band Camp is a week long event where marching band students work on putting the bones of the show onto the field. From music and choreography rehearsals inside, to fundamental and drill rehearsals outside, students grow together to make this show come to life! The week started with introductions to using the UDB app and setting drill and ended with an intense showdown among the sections in the Marching Band Olympics.
This years show is entitled: The Inn Between. A Haunting Journey Through Fear and Mystery. Step into the eerie and unsettling world of The Inn-Between, an exciting marching band show that blends the chilling vibes of movies like The Shining, quirky hotel scenes, and your favorite horror flicks.
