MARCHING BAND

MARCHING BAND

Percussion Ensemble

The MARCHING BAND season begins for most students in early August with band camp, including day-long rehearsals for the week of August 8-12, 2022. For percussionists, particularly the drum line, there are practices and auditions in June, and a special percussion camp the week before regular Band Camp.  To register, click here: https://forms.gle/KTg1oEXPcvR2WKYq9


After Band Camp is complete, after school rehearsals begin - three days a week. Starting in September the group attends home football games,  performing the national anthem before the game, their field show at halftime, and spirited music in the stands throughout the game. Then from late September through early November, the band participates in competitions most weekends. SPHS also hosts its own marching competition in September.
The  marching band sometimes performs during the annual out-of-state spring trip. A number of our students expand their marching experience over the summer by participating in a drum corps, or one of many music camps.

COLOR GUARD

MARCHING BAND

COLOR GUARD

COLOR GUARD is a group of students who provide an artistic interpretation of the music through dance and the synchronized spinning of flags, rifles,  sabres and other props. Color Guard has been called the “Sport of the  Arts”  because it is equally athletic and artistic.
In  the fall, the color guard participates in all marching band activities including practices, competitions and half-time performances at football  games. During marching band competitions, the guard adds to the overall score of the band, but is also judged in its own category.  
In the Winter and Spring, the color guard practices and competes independently of the band through a regional indoor/winter guard circuit.

Our jazz students have also played in the All-County Jazz Band.
