We are so excited to be celebrating the Pirate Marching Band's 50th Anniversary this year! To celebrate, we are hosting an alumni band performance at our Homecoming Football Game on Friday, October 24th. We will be performing 3 songs on the field immediately following the conclusion of the game.

Music will be sent to the email that you provide at sign-up. We strongly recommend bringing your own instrument or borrowing one from a friend or renting for the event, as we only have a very limited selection of brass and percussion instruments to borrow.

Colorguard - flags will be provided! If you want to spin a rifle please plan on bringing your own. Rifle and flag choreography will be sent out by video to the email that you provide at sign-up.
