Marching Band

(Summers only)  (Cost to be determined, but will include Band Camp and fees.)  

This is a new opportunity that we are planning for the summer of 2006.  Much preparation work must be done to bring this together.  Home School Marching Band is an exciting opportunity for JNHSB students to publicly perform before crowds of people each year. 

The Marching Band season will begin with one week of band camp (day camp) and continue through the summer months. Students meet weekly on a (to be decided) morning to rehearse for the parades they will be performing in. To participate in Marching Band in the summer, students must be enrolled in the previous Concert Season. This band is available for all Intermediate, Advanced and Concert Band students. Beginning Band students must audition to enroll.

 Future Parade Dates

If you would like to see the Joyful Noise Homeschool Marching Band come to a parade in your community, please get the parade organizers to send us their request in writing. Some dates, (such as July 4th) may have a waiting list. We cannot possibly fill all the invitations each year but we would like to go to the communities where band families live.

 Current Needs

We are currently looking for a Marching Director for this band, as well as parents willing to serve as Coordinators.  Like all of Joyful Noise Programs, the marching band will need much volunteer support by parents of students involved.  Work must begin now to collect information on parades this season, so we include them in our marching schedule next summer.  To keep costs low, marching students will need to be involved in fund raisers to purchase uniforms and marching percussion equipment.  All students are welcome. 

 

 

 

Colorguard

Colorguard programs are available in the summer for girls age 7-19. The students will meet for band camp with the band, and learn to march with them.  They will continue to meet once a week with the band.

 Jr. Colorguard is for the young beginners who will learn angles using flags and other equipment performing routines to music. Ages 7 to 11

 Sr. Colorguard is more advanced for the older girls who will learn to use swing flags, rifles, and sabers combined with simple ballet movements set to music.

All girls will be required to purchase uniform shoes and equipment.
