What is Marching Band?

This is an elective credit taken outside of the normal school day for one academic fine arts credit. Comprised of musicians and colorguard, members rehearse in the evenings after school and on Saturdays. The marching band performs at all home varsity football games, five to eight local, regional, and national competitions, and local parades each fall. Mandatory rehearsals begin in May and continue until early November.

Who can join the marching band?

GMHS students, even if you have never been or don't plan to take a band class.
