MARCHING BAND & COLOR GUARD

This ensemble is perhaps the most visual performing group at Santa Teresa High School. Marching Band explores high quality musical literature with the addition of motion and visual impact. The band performs at select home football games, marching competitions, and the homecoming parade.

All wind and percussion members are expected to be concurrently enrolled in one of the band classes during the school day. All Marching Band members are required to be enrolled in the Marching Band class. This ensemble strives to entertain and excite the audience with emotion and high energy show design.

You can expect to practice 3 days per week.

The STHS Marching Band and Color Guard competes in Class 2A in the Western Band Association circuit.

Band Camp

 

Summer Band Camp:

Our award-winning Marching Band and Color Guard program is a rewarding opportunity to work with fellow musicians and guard members to gain experience as a team in a competitive environment. This is a commitment of your time and begins with Summer Band Camp! During these 2 weeks, you will learn the 2025 season show music, marching performance techniques and basic drills. Join us to kickoff the exciting new season and meet new friends before the school year starts!

Summer Band Camp is a great way to meet other students in the program so you’ll already know some before the first day of school! The all-day camp is usually held during the last two weeks of July.
