Marching BandThe high school marching band is a high-level performance group, which combines a high standard of musical knowledge and skill with precision marching fundamentals and drill design. Marching band functions principally through the summer and fall, performing for all football games, local events, parades, festivals, and adjudicated events (contests). Known as the “The Pride of La Salle!” the marching band has a standing tradition filled with pride and enthusiasm, accompanied by a constant demand for the finest level of performance attainable. The regular season for marching band runs from early mid-June through the last football game or OMEA State Marching Band Finals in November. Marching band members will be expected to perform at all functions designated by the director and the high school principal throughout the entire year. This may include contests, football games, festivals, parades, pep rallies, etc. Participation in marching band is open to any student grades 7-12, with permission from the director. Fall marching band members MUST participate in their respective concert band year round. High school students will receive 1 art credit for participation in marching band (combined with wind ensemble).
