Marching Band
Marching Band
Period 7 - First Semester
Why do students enjoy the Pali Marching Band & Color Guard?
They are immediately accepted into the Pali Band Family, become friends with many other students, have a “home base” at school in the band room, have a great time with the band and color guard events, and enjoy being part of great performances as well as one of the most visible organizations on campus!
What do students learn from being in Marching Band?
In addition to learning about music, great aerobic/physical training, and leadership, they learn how to work intricately and collaborative as an interactive team. They learn time management, success skills, self-reliance and the joy that comes from the team’s success.
In the fall, the band, drumline, and color guard perform together as The Palisades Charter High School Marching Band. This is a competitive ensemble that performs as a Pep Band at Pep Rallies, home football games, and competes against other high school bands.
Students create strong bonds and enjoy many fun activities during this time as they work together to learn how to combine music and movement. Teamwork and leadership are developed as vital qualities for success and set the foundation for the following seasons of Concert Band, Winter Drumline, and Winter Guard.
In addition to the Band Director, the members of the band and color guard receive specialized instruction from a team of expert coaches.
The Pali Band meets regularly during 7th period and after-school rehearsals
The season ends in November before Thanksgiving break.

Period 7 - Second Semester
During the fall, the color guard must participate in our marching band in order to enroll. The first semester is dedicated to building basic skills through our fall marching band show. During the second semester, the guard will begin to work on their winter guard show, which will compete in the Spring semester. The color guard is also expected to be at every marching band event, rehearsal, and meeting. Anyone interested in participating must first speak to color guard director Allison Wyant or band director Mr. Ye.

The winter drumline competes in the SCPA circuit with some of the best drumlines in the country. Drumline is separate from the marching band percussion and drumline section, but many students choose to enroll in both our marching band and our indoor drumline concurrently.
