Congratulations to our MCHS Drumline Team on their 1st Place Finish at SCPA Finals!

The student athletes of the MCHS Drumline made school history this past Saturday, earning the Gold Medal at Southern California Percussion Alliance Championships in their division! This tremendous result is equivalent to winning CIF (which does not govern Indoor Drumline) for our musical athletes who found themselves atop the podium on Saturday night after having advanced from among an original field of 50 schools in their division at the preliminary round tournament only two weekends ago. Huge thank you to Kevin Tran, MCHS Percussion Director, and his team for their leadership. And big thanks to Deb Salvaggio & Gillian Cato, our parent volunteers – VP’s of IDL Operations – who helped to make this happen! You can watch their performance here!

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.
