  • Color Guard Audition Information, please reach out to me or our Color/Winter Guard Coach, Andrea Vancil at vancila@scsk12.org
  • Majorette Audition Information, please reach out to Dr. Kanesha Moore
  • Color Guard and Majorette audition information will be posted, and members selected during this week for any prospective 8th graders.
  • Monday – Thursday (2:30-6:00pm) Full Band Practice – School Year 2025-2026
  • Friday Night Games (Typically, call time will be 5pm in the band room to prepare for the game and board the buses)
  • These practices will go until the season ends which is dependent upon how the team does during playoffs. 

All of these dates are mandatory for the success of the program. Once we begin school, practices will be held on Monday – Thursday until 6:00pm so students will have plenty of time to complete their studies.  Any changes in the schedule will be shared well in advance. Please contact us if you have any concerns or conflicts.  Scheduling issues with other sports will be arranged between myself and the coaches.

***Please send your child with sunscreen, medicine, a towel, and a refillable water bottle.  We will always have ice water available.  The most important thing is to stay hydrated.***

Please attend the monthly Band Booster meetings for additional updates or feedback. Typically, we hold Booster meetings the first Monday of every month at 6:00pm in the band room at WSHS. We would love to see you and encourage you to come!
