MCHS parade team marched in the Palos Verdes Peninsula Parade of Lights

The MCHS parade team marched in the Palos Verdes Peninsula Parade of Lights, leading Santa’s sleigh and closing out the parade. The band’s performance was reviewed by a panel of judges, and MCHS was awarded the Music Sweepstakes award and 2nd place Color Guard award. The Palos Verdes Mayor, Barbara Ferraro, presented the awards and expressed her gratitude for our performance in the parade. We were excited to have 8th graders from MBMS and HVS join us in the parade team. We will be marching at Disneyland for our next parade in January!

Congratulations to our student musicians on another amazing Winter Concert. On Friday, December 1st the MCHS Band Program kicked off our winter concert series with an amazing concert that got us all in the holiday spirit. Big thank you to Mr. Carlson & Mr. Tran for putting together another fabulous show for our community.

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.
