Marching Band
Northern Empire’s Marching Band is composed of youth ages 14 – 21 who are either exploring their musical and visual talents or furthering their education in woodwinds, brass, drumline and front ensemble. Experience in music is an asset but not required!
Rehearsals run every Monday at the Orange Hub from 6:15PM – 9:15PM and some Wednesday rehearsals throughout the season. There will be in-town and out of town weekend camps, more information to come.
This year the band will have opportunities performing in parades, stand still shows and field show competitions across Alberta and California. If you are looking for an inclusive, diverse, positive, and competitive group… check out our Marching Band!
