Marching Band @ Tigard High School - You Should Do It!

Marching Band @ THS is the best thing! It’s music, and creating, and traveling (road trips!), and hanging out, and the best group of friends you’ll ever have! You’ll work hard and accomplish more than you ever knew you could – what a great feeling! Here’s how it works:

• Band Camp: Aug. 15 – 17 (W-F) and 20 - 24 (M-F) [9am-5pm]
• Get to know all your band friends and staff
• Learn music and drill
• Get lockers before ANYONE ELSE at Tigard High!
• Design section shirts
• Finish Band Camp with a BBQ

• Regular rehearsals: M/W 5-8:45, Aug. 27 – Oct 24

• THS Football Halftime Shows
• 9/7 vs Barlow
• 9/21 vs Lincoln
• 10/5 vs Oregon City
• 10/12 vs Lakeridge (Homecoming!)

• MB Competitions
• 10/6 – Liberty Marching Arts Challenge (Hillsboro Stadium)
• 10/13 – Sunset Marching Classic (Hillsboro Stadium)
• 10/20 – Century Showcase (Hillsboro Stadium)
• 10/27 – Fesssstival of Bands/NWAPA Championships (Autzen Stadium/Eugene)

And we often have other things that come up that we might participate in – television performances, assemblies, college football appearances, etc – who knows?

We ARE the face of Tigard High School!  Join us!

WHOO HOO!

Just A Little Help Is Needed...

If you're a THS Band program student who wants to earn some $$ toward band-related expenses, if you're good with hard work, and if you will be in town on Memorial Day (Monday), you might want to shoot a message to McKee. 

This is an opportunity to do yard work (weeding, hauling, spreading) for 4 - 6 hours in exchange for a $50-75 deposit to your band account. 3 - 4 students will be needed, with work beginning in the late morning. And of course, there will be food...
