2026 Marching Band

2026 Marching Band T-Shirt Design Contest

“To the Moon and Back”

This year’s marching band show launches into outer space with music inspired by adventure, wonder, and the stars. We’re looking for student-designed shirt artwork that captures the spirit of our 2026 production.

Featured Music

• Also Sprach Zarathustra (2001: A Space Odyssey)

• Rocketman - Elton John

• Space Oddity - David Bowie

• Don’t Stop Me Now - Queen

🚀 Space and moon-themed designs are strongly encouraged! Think astronauts, rockets, galaxies, moon phases, retro space art, stars, planets, cosmic energy, or creative interpretations of the show title.

Winning designs will be used for the official 2026 marching band shirt distributed at Band Camp in July.
