Mighty Knight Marching Band
The marching band is an extension of the classroom curriculum. Concepts, techniques, and other items taught in the classes will be reinforced in marching band. In order to participate in marching band a student must be signed up for a concert band class (the only exception is for color guard members and the occasional orchestra student). Marching band students have the option of signing up for the marching band class for credit or no credit. All students whether they will receive credit for the marching band class or not will be assigned a grade based on their attendance, appearance and performance. Students in marching band will be required to attend summer practices which include but is not limited to pre-camp rehearsals, band camp, post-camp rehearsals, football games and marching competitions.
The Mighty Knight Marching Band is a competition group that travels for area, regional and national marching band competitions. The Directors, Students and Band Booster Parents dedicate many hours to make every season both successful and fun. Here are a few highlights on their upcoming events and recent successes.
