While Pali High offers all its students a high-quality education, extracurricular programs depend on financial support from families. Parent organizations support music where they can, and concerts and “fun-raisers” are just the best! Unfortunately, band program expenses are far larger than what we receive from the school, the Booster Club, and student activities.
And this applies to ALL the bands.
After returning back to "normal" from the online music classes of covid, activities like marching band prove that there is no replacing being with one another and making music together. Our staff loves working with our students and preparing a meaningful and successful season for our Pali Band students.
Recent small rehearsals have been super-fun and, most important, motivational! Look forward to an innovative and safe Marching Band program where students will
learn the physicality of marching
learn to work together under challenging conditions
musically learn to play as one.
Though we take them seriously, successful Marching Band competitions aren’t the end goal. Working together and having fun are the wins we’re looking for!

Funding Sources
*Historically generous funding from the Pali Booster Club is not guaranteed!
That’s right. Only 3% of our extracurricular Band program funds come from the school – though we have strong organizational support from the administration and from Pali Football. Because it’s impossible for some Band families to pay full freight, please give as you are able.
We look forward to seeing all of you as volunteers, rehearsal cheering sections, and audiences!
