The Marching Band is an extra-curricular activity that functions within the overall band program. Members of the marching band are required to be enrolled in one of the concert ensembles as well as pay a membership dues fee. The marching band is an important ensemble in the overall development of the student, teaching them: teamwork, discipline, camaraderie, time management, sacrifice, resilience, multi-tasking, and allows them to continue their music education in an additional format.
Band Camp
Band camp is one of the most memorable parts of the marching season. It’s where students come together to make friends, build traditions, and start learning the show. Students grow in confidence, teamwork, and spirit and by the end of camp, they’ve not only learned the foundation of the show but also created memories and friendships that last a lifetime.
Football Games
The marching band performs during halftime at all home football games and energizes the crowd by supporting the football team with spirited stand tunes at away games. The band also participates in the Homecoming Parade and Pep Rallies.
Competitions
The Band of Chiefs participate in 3 local competitions and the CCSD Marching Exhibition per year. Competitions bring together bands from across the region to showcase their music, drill, and performance skills. Each band presents their field show in front of a panel of judges who evaluate musical performance, visual execution, general effect, and overall artistry. Beyond the scores, competitions build teamwork, school pride, and lasting memories as students share their hard work and dedication with a broader audience.
