CONGRATULATIONS TO THE MCHS CONCERT BANDS – SUPERIOR RATINGS ACROSS ALL ENSEMBLES!

A Superior Day at SCSBOA! Performing challenging sets of music before audiences of their peers and professional adjudicators, the Mira Costa Symphonic Band, Wind Ensemble and Wind Symphony each earned the highest possible rating of Unanimous Superior for their prepared performances on stage in the Southern California Band and Orchestra Association Festival at Santiago High School on March 29th! After performing on stage, each group traveled to the Sightreading Room where they had the opportunity to play a piece they had never seen before after studying it for 4 minutes. This is also an adjudicated performance and each of the ensembles also earned Superior ratings for their performances of the sightread pieces! This incredible result is a testament to all the hard work, focus and musicianship of the students in the Mira Costa Bands and the amazing support of our parent boosters, community partners, and site and district administrators. Check out one of our performances!

Tryout Info

Marching Band and Colorguard are no cut programs, and can be taken for PE credit. No prior marching band or colorguard experience is required.

It is a year-round program.
Concerts and Jazz 1 band assessments are held in May/June. MBMS student scheduling is coordinated by Denise Haslop. Hermosa, Redondo and all other new students contact Mr. Carlson to schedule an assessment. All Marching Band students are required to be in a concert ensemble class: Wind Symphony, Wind Ensemble, Symphonic Band or Jazz Band 1. Colorguard students do not need to schedule an assessment, and are not required to be in a concert ensemble class. Colorguard students can sign up by registering for the “Flags” class when they complete their scheduling request.
The Marching Band & Colorguard season goes from August through November. Incoming Freshman have practice once a week in April-June prior to attending Mira Costa. Colorguard students may elect to continue in guard during the spring semester by participating in Winterguard (which also appears as “Flags” on the student’s schedule).
There is a mandatory Marching Band & Colorguard camp from noon to 8 pm two weeks prior to fall semester; 1 evening practice/week in June and July (absence due to vacation is excused.)
All Marching Band & Colorguard students members are Varsity members. All members perform at Field Competitions, Football Games, Disneyland and Parades.
