Peninsula High School Marching Band

---

Marching Band supports football games in the fall, preparing a full field show and in-the-stands repertoire, and and converts to a concert band in second semester. Performing at pep rallies, the Band is a core part of Pen High school spirit!

Marching Band students receive either year round P.E credit or year round fine arts credit.

Marching Band students must attend Band Practice in August, normally scheduled the week of or just prior to registration (more info in the Marching Band tab).  In addition to their regularly scheduled 6th period class during the fall, after school practices are Tuesdays from 3:00 - 5:00 PM.  The Marching Band plays at all football games home and away and the Peninsula Holiday Parade the first weekend of December. 

Marching/Concert band students attend 1-2 mandatory festivals in the spring as well as 3 mandatory concerts spread over the year.

Please browse the sub-tabs under Marching Band/Color Guard for more info.

A very cool look at high school Marching Bands

Now, I feel certain someone has done this before. High school football — and all the pageantry surrounding it — has been around so long that someone has to have done something like this before.

But I’ve been in the newspaper business, now, for three decades. I started out as a high school sports stringer. And I’ve spent the last decade collecting and writing about cool ideas. And in all that time I’ve never seen anything quite like this before.

My paper — the Orange County Register of Santa Ana, Calif. — branched out of the usual high school sports schtick this weekend by putting emphasis on high school bands. Our OC Varsity Arts section, which covers to music, art and theater programs in area high schools, put out an entire eight-page Sunday section devoted to high school marching bands.
