Marquette Marching Band
This group rehearses during the summer and after school. Students must be a member of Concert band, Symphonic band, or Wind Ensemble to be a member of the Marching Band. This is an exciting group and a highlight for band students each year.
The Marching Band performs at all home football games and competitions, and often also travels to participate in Festivals or Competitions in other states.
Marching band begins the last week of July and ends in early November.
The Marquette Mustangs Marching Band strives to develop a tight-knit family of passionate, diverse individuals in a safe, accepting environment and to enliven the community through awe-inspiring musical and visual performance.
