This is a small excerpt from the “New Members” page found on our program’s website:
Is Marching Band required?
YES, we have co-curricular requirements for all students enrolled in Band Courses 1-6 and/or Instrumental Ensemble 1-4
(Percussion Class). This means that students will be asked to participate in rehearsals and performances outside of the school day; HOWEVER, the level of participation will differ for several reasons:
8th-Grade Beginners - Students who have been playing an instrument for less than one school-year may not march right away; they will still be taught marching fundamentals at Band Camp & throughout the Fall, and they will be included in all games and performances in some meaningful way.
All other Band students (2+ years of playing experience) - These students typically are assigned a "spot" in the "Half-Time Show" and would only lose that spot through issues of attendance (excused or unexcused). These students may also serve in Leadership positions as they progress.
Medical Limitations/Conflicts - Some issues may prevent a student from meaningfully participating in rehearsals and/or performances. Students with medical & physical limitations and students participating in specific Viera High School sponsored sports should coordinate with a Director to speak about your specific situation and what compromise may be worked out:
