Middletown Marching Band, Fall 2024
If your student will be absent from marching band rehearsal, game / performance, or competition, please report their absence by submitting a Student Absence Form
For years, the Middletown Marching Band has had a tradition of success and superior performance and has qualified and competed in State Finals each of the last 22 years. Middletown Marching Band is made of the finest students at Middletown High School as well as a caring and talented staff.
We want every student to have the experience of being a part of the marching band. It is truly a unique opportunity that offers so much to the students who choose to participate. Marching band not only offers great musical benefits, but it is an activity that teaches discipline, pride, leadership, self-confidence, and a positive work ethic. Our members become part of a TRUE tradition of excellence, and enjoy a rich experience competing and performing throughout the state of Ohio. ALSO, MARCHING BAND IS A LOT OF FUN! We feel that it is an enjoyable, positive experience for all those involved.
