Be a part of a 100+ year tradition of excellence! The award- winning San Mateo High School Marching Band combines musical performance with visual entertainment, emphasizing friendly competition, discipline, and teamwork. Students learn to march in formation while playing an instrument, performing at school rallies, parades, competitions, graduation, and the highly-anticipated Little Big Game Field Show against Burlingame High. Marching Band members also perform in the SMHS Pep Band, leading Bearcat football fans in song and spirit. Join SMHS Marching Band and you'll quickly meet new friends, find student mentors ready to show you the ropes (and the steps and notes!), and grow as a musician and performer. Marching Band meets zero period and can be taken independently or concurrently with another music elective. Open to all grades and experience levels. No audition required and instruments are available for use.
