All BC students in band are in marching band. We meet for a summer marching band camp in August and one evening a week throughout the fall.
We perform pregame and halftime at home football games and march in two parades a year.
Interested in joining Color Guard? Open to all! Contact the director for more info!
PARENTS
To keep our band program strong, we need as much parent help as possible. We rely on fantastic parent support each and every year. The following are a few areas in which we can always use help with: Uniforms, Concessions (home football games), Fall Fundraisers, Chili Feed (Homecoming Game), our Bebop event in June, and Band Banquet.
Please email the director for more information on the organizations that help the band!
