Joining The 8th-12th Grade Marching Band?
Please complete the following link no later than 5/29 to register for our 8th-12th Grade Marching Band!: https://forms.gle/XmB229hTyRyend238
Please encourage your child to give joining the group a try. I promise you they won't be disappointed. I have never met anybody who regretted joining their marching band, but have met a ton who have regretted not joining or not joining as soon as they were able. The marching band truly becomes a second home for so many of these students. I have personally witnessed the positive impact it has left on hundreds and hundreds of students.
Our commitment is less than most sports teams: Only 1 or 2 practices a week, a few community parades, and a few band festivals in addition to the Friday Football games that most students will already go to!! Also, the summer Marching Band Camp Dates are July 27-31 & August 3-7, 8:30am-3:30pm each day at Avonworth High School.
We have students in the marching band who also do every other activity at Avonworth: Swimming, Cheer, Soccer, Volleyball, Baseball/Softball, etc.; you name it and a Marching Band kid juggles that activity along with the marching band!
We can't wait to perform under Friday night lights and give you a chance to hear The Booming Sound of the Avonworth Marching Band with your child a part of it!! Our show this year will feature music from Maroon 5, The Beatles, ABBA, Aerosmith, Whitney Houston, Beastie Boys, and more!!
Joining The MS Jazz Band or HS Jazz Ensemble?
The audition materials will be available in the Fall. Auditions are due by TBD.
Please note that our Jazz Band or Ensemble program is a select ensemble made up of primarily saxophones, trumpets, trombones, and a rhythm section (piano, guitar, bass/tuba, drumset, and vibraphone) and on occasions a flute or clarinet may be used. The MS Jazz Band primarily consists of students in grades 7-9, but some 6th grade students have been selected in prior years. The HS Jazz Ensemble consists primarily of students in grades 10-12.
If selected, rehearsals will begin in the Spring Semester. Please note that Mr. Ziccardi's Jazz Band rehearses Mondays from 7:00am-7:45am in the Spring semester in order to avoid any outside of school conflicts.
