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.
There is truly no replacement for the experience of being together and creating music in person. Activities like marching band remind us how vital community is to the artistic process. Our staff is thrilled to work with our students and is dedicated to preparing a meaningful, successful season for the entire Pali Band family.
Recent field rehearsals have been high-energy and incredibly motivational! We invite you to join an innovative and supportive Marching Band program where students will:
Master the physicality of precision marching.
Develop resilience by working together through challenging conditions.
Achieve musical unity as they learn to play as one.
While we strive for excellence, trophies aren't our only metric for success. To us, the real "wins" are the lifelong friendships, the teamwork, and the fun along the way!

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!
