High School Marching and Concert Band
About Marching and Concert Band
This is one of the top music performance groups at Scott City. Students who are in the band perform at pep rallys, football games, basketball games, concerts, festivals, and in various other ways throughout the school year.
In the fall, the focus is on marching band, with performances at parades and football games. By the middle of October, the band switches to primarily focus on concert music. In the spring, there are several festival and contests centered around concert band music.
How to Join
Students who know the basics of playing an instrument can join the high school band, and additional opportunities are available for students interested in color guard in our fall Marching Band. If you join the color guard, but cannot play an instrument, you will work on the basics and be able to perform on the winter concert.
