Marching Band

The Marching Band includes student musicians and flag bearers (dance/drill team) who represent Great Valley High School at varsity football games, parades, and adjudicated festivals, Band members must pass an audition on their instrument or equipment in order to qualify for a position. After school rehearsals are scheduled throughout the school year, but primarily during the fall season. Student fundraising campaigns are conducted to help students raise funds for a spring trip. In past years, the band and choirs have performed in Disney World, North Carolina, Tennessee, Virginia, and Quebec. Eight days of band camp are held at the high school a week and a half before the opening of school. These practices are from 8:00 a.m. to noon, and 6:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m. daily. Students must maintain a good attendance record (rehearsals and performances) and perform consistently well in order to remain a member in good standing.
