September Band Highlights!

The Mira Costa Marching Band and Colorguard are gearing up for their upcoming season. They started off with band camp for two weeks in the hot sun working on their show, “Dream On”. They first performed their show at a “Sneak Peek” for family and friends at the beginning of the school year.

They will be making their debut of “Dream On” at the first Costa Football Home Game donning their brand new uniforms! They will be looking very sharp as they march down Peck Avenue and perform on the field.

Please come and support our bands at our Candy Booth at the football game on Friday. Thank you for your continued support of the band program.

The band will also be hosting their first annual Golf Tournament on Sunday, October 13, 2019. Deadline to sign up is September 27!!

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.
