The Easton High Marching Band

Marching Band meets Monday and Thursday nights from 6 to 8.

They play at home football games and a Christmas Concert.

To pictures from our first home game, see this page!

Marching Band is the only class within the band program in which students are allowed to participate on an extracurricular basis. It is VERY important that each student, in the class or not, make every practice and perform at every football game. In the past, students who took the class as an extra-curricular activity received credit for the class towards band awards. Because of poor attendance of rehearsals and performances, students who participate e.c. must make 90 % of rehearsals and ALL of the football games in order for the class to be counted towards their band awards. Townspeople are welcome to join if there is space in the band.

Football Games

All band members are expected to be at school on the day of a home game no later than 5:00. At 5:30, the band will eat together at the pre-game cookout. At 6:00, uniforms will be distributed and by 6:15 students are to be dressed and then ready to play by 6:30 for warm up. It is very important to remember that all performances are SUMMATIVE grades. If an absence is not legally excused, it will be recorded as a zero in the grade book.

There are many things that need to be done to get the band ready and on the field for a performance. Parent volunteers are needed to help carry instruments, get uniforms passed out, help with the cookout, help keep order before practice begins, and mark off seating in the stands for the band. We need your help! The students have worked hard for these performances, so come and enjoy seeing what your child has accomplished.

Please see "Uniforms" link at left for more information.

Band Booster meetings are held the first Tuesday of every month at 7. This date will be changed if there is a conflict with major school events, holidays, inclement weather. See the calendar for details.
