Aliso Niguel High School Marching Band
Period 3 (Fall Semester)
Members of the Marching Band will belong to the most visible unit of the ANHS music program. Involvement in this ensemble requires participation at field show competitions, traveling, out-of-class practices, football games, pep rallies and parades. As a member of the Southern California Band and Orchestra Association (SCBOA), the Marching Band performs at home ANHS football games during half-time and competes at venues throughout Southern California. Band training begins as soon as school gets out, continues throughout the summer into the fall semester and culminates in championships, traditionally held the weekend before Thanksgiving. The schedule is based around the season’s field show tournaments and football game dates. Students in Marching Band must be enrolled in a Concert/Guard ensemble class and 3rd period Marching Band (PE credit is earned). In addition to 3rd period, the entire group rehearses on Mondays from 5-9 pm and on selected Saturdays as listed in the calendar.
