Marching and Pep Band
Each school year kicks off with Marching and Pep Band at our home football games. Marching Band is a very complex animal and in order to meet our high standards for our first football game performance, we hold a week of Band Camp in August (typically the third week) before school starts to organize sections, hand out music, and introduce incoming freshmen to the fundamentals of marching and pep band (new music, coordinated movements, drum major directions, etc.).
Lockers, locks, and marching uniforms will be distributed the first week of school.
Drum Majors
All upperclassmen (juniors and seniors?) are eligible to audition for Drum Major positions. We currently have three student conductors who will serve to support the director and all band students through excellent leadership, clear conducting, and constant communication. Students on band council are eligible.
There are two portions to the audition that all applicants must complete: 1) a conducting audition (scheduled) and 2) a short interview after school with Mr. Edwards about leadership and goals for the band.
-
Auditions will be held in late Spring, starting with after-school training sessions where students practice conducting the band. All student conductors will conduct the entirety of the Fight Song and roughly the first 16 measures of Time Warp for the audition (the exact cutoff measures isn’t important). Show excitement, pride, excellence, and energy during your audition!
-
Interviews will be held by appointment. Drum Major applicants can schedule a time directly with Mr. Edwards.

Basketball Pep Band Schedule
Usually we split into two separate pep bands, but this year Eds is simply requiring students to attend 5 of the 9 performances (some are doubles with both boys’ and girls’ games that same night). We are hoping this provides more flexibility with family schedules as well as resulting in more of each instrument types showing up to games. Please remember to dress in your green pep band tee or (if you are waiting on delivery) green and gold spirit wear.
