Ridgeview High School Marching Panther Pride Band
Ridgeview High School Panther Band
The PANTHER MARCHING BAND represents Ridgeview High School at marching competitions and festivals as well as provides visual and musical entertainment at football games. Marching Band is challenging because it requires you to play your instrument and move, all at the same time. This takes some practice! But if you have the desire to succeed, we will help you become a good marching musician.
Marching Band is a required band activity at Ridgeview High School. Exceptions will be made for students who have a direct conflict with a fall sport at Ridgeview High School. These include: football, cross country and swimming.
The MARCHING BAND is composed of four facets which when placed together produce a unified musical and visual performance. They
are: the Color Guard, the Front Ensemble Percussion, the Wind instruments, and the Battery percussion. Our quest for excellence relies on each individual marcher’s commitment to personally excel. All Freshmen Marching Band members must commit to freshman band clinic, band camp, after-school rehearsals and weekend performances, as well as Friday football games.
The Color Guard will participate in practice with the Marching Band. Additionally, there will be an extra hour of practice on Tuesday designated specifically for Color Guard.
MARCHING SHOES (BAND AND GUARD) and Bibbers (BAND ONLY) must be purchased individually, this cost is not included in the Band Fee. Normally, the shoes cost about $40 and bibbers cost $45.
