Band closes year with fantastic Pops Concert and looks forward to 2018-19!

Band Pops Concert and Banquet
The MCHS Bands closed out their year with a fantastic Pops Concert on
May 31st. Family and friends enjoyed music from “Guardians of the Galaxy”, “Jurassic Park”, “The Incredibles” and the big hit of the evening as our Wind Symphony played the score to “Godzilla Eats Las Vegas” while the video played.
We celebrated a busy year at the Band Banquet on June 10th handing out awards and recognitions and saying goodbye to an incredible senior class. We will miss the music they made with us, but wish them all well as they journey on to college.
As everyone says goodbye to the seniors they also welcome in the new freshmen, many of whom will start marching practice this summer as Band starts to prepare for their new Marching Show, “The Pack”. Make sure to catch this show at one of the Home Games this Fall!

Tryout Info

Marching Band and Colorguard are no cut programs, and can be taken for PE credit. No prior marching band or colorguard experience is required.

It is a year-round program.
Concerts and Jazz 1 band assessments are held in May/June. MBMS student scheduling is coordinated by Denise Haslop. Hermosa, Redondo and all other new students contact Mr. Carlson to schedule an assessment. All Marching Band students are required to be in a concert ensemble class: Wind Symphony, Wind Ensemble, Symphonic Band or Jazz Band 1. Colorguard students do not need to schedule an assessment, and are not required to be in a concert ensemble class. Colorguard students can sign up by registering for the “Flags” class when they complete their scheduling request.
The Marching Band & Colorguard season goes from August through November. Incoming Freshman have practice once a week in April-June prior to attending Mira Costa. Colorguard students may elect to continue in guard during the spring semester by participating in Winterguard (which also appears as “Flags” on the student’s schedule).
There is a mandatory Marching Band & Colorguard camp from noon to 8 pm two weeks prior to fall semester; 1 evening practice/week in June and July (absence due to vacation is excused.)
All Marching Band & Colorguard students members are Varsity members. All members perform at Field Competitions, Football Games, Disneyland and Parades.
