Marching Band Percussion and Color Guard

The Marriotts Ridge Marching Band is a multi-time State champion and nationally recognized and ranked competitive marching ensemble. Students in the Symphonic Wind Ensemble are required to be in Marching Band. The only exception to this is for double reed players that may elect to do an alternative performance project. Any students not auditioning into the Symphonic Wind Ensemble but wanting a marching band experience may opt into the Marching Band by auditioning/volunteering to be in the Color Guard, Front Percussion Ensemble, and Drum Line. Students opting in must be available for all rehearsals, competitions and performances. Color Guard, Front Percussion Ensemble and Drum line begin Spring training in March for the following marching season.
