REGARDLESS OF YOUR JUNIOR HIGH BAND EXPERIENCE, HIGH SCHOOL BAND IS SOMETHING EVERYONE SHOULD TRY. FROM DAY 1, YOU HAVE DOZENS OF FRIENDS AND A COMMUNITY TO BELONG TO, EVEN BEFORE YOUR FIRST DAY OF SCHOOL.

IN HIGH SCHOOL BAND YOU TRAVEL WITH YOUR FRIENDS WEEKLY, CHEER ON THE GREENWAVE, MEET OTHER BANDS, HEAR GOOD MUSIC, AND YOU'LL BE EXCITED WHEN YOU WALK AWAY FROM A GREAT PERFORMANCE AND SHARE THAT MOMENT WITH EVERYONE AROUND YOU.

FAQS

I'VE NEVER MARCHED BEFORE. SHOULD I BE NERVOUS ABOUT JOINING BAND?

NO! MOST PEOPLE WILL COME IN WITHOUT ANY MARCHING EXPERIENCE. EVERYONE COMES IN ON THE SAME LEVEL. WE HAVE A SPECIAL FRESHMAN CAMP IN JUNE TO HELP YOU GET ACQUAINTED WITH MARCHING.

CAN I DO SPORTS AND BAND?

THE SHORT ANSWER IS YES, BUT YOUR LEVEL OF PARTICIPATION DEPENDS ON THE SPORT. WE HAVE GOOD WORKING RELATIONSHIPS WITH THE COACHES AND WE SHARE WHENEVER POSSIBLE. MOST FRESHMEN SPORTS, ALLOW STUDENTS TO DO BOTH. IF YOU HAVE QUESTIONS, PLEASE EMAIL MR. BRAUD AT THOMAS.BRAUD@TANGISCHOOLS.ORG

ARE THERE SCHOOL INSTRUMENTS AVAILABLE?

INSTRUMENTS ARE AVAILABLE ON A FIRST COME-FIRST SERVED BASIS.

I PLAY PIANO (OR STRINGS, GUITAR, BASS, ETC), WHAT CAN I DO IN THE MARCHING BAND?

THE FRONT ENSEMBLE (PEOPLE WITH LARGE INSTRUMENTS WHO DON'T MARCH BUT PLAY THE FIELD SHOW) NEEDS A LARGE NUMBER OF KEYBOARD PLAYERS, AND WE CAN UTILIZE OTHER INSTRUMENTS TOO. IF YOU'RE UNSURE, JUST ASK!
