Mira Costa Band & Colorguard succeed in competition!

The Band and Colorguard placed third out of six in our highly competitive bracket at the WBA Field Show at Warren High School in Downey on Oct. 27th. We couldn’t be more proud as we head into the MBOS Championships in Las Vegas on November 10th.

If you missed our fantastic show “The Pack”, you will have the chance to see us perform it one more time at Waller Stadium at our free Homecoming Concert on Thursday, November 15th at 7pm. All are welcome!

In other news, the Mira Costa Drumline performed at the 10th Annual Skechers Pier-to-Pier Friendship Walk for more than 14,000 registered participants. There’s nothing like drums and cymbals to keep crowds happy and moving, and we have the best percussionists!

The Band and Colorguard were thrilled to be able to parade and perform at the CIF playoff game last Friday night, where the Mustangs bested the Wilson HS Bruins. Congrats Mustangs!

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.
