The Gulf Coast Marching Festival is similar to the Pre-UIL Marching Contest. This contest is Prelims/Finals format and will be all day. All CCISD bands are responsible for covering duties for the operation of the festival. Clear Springs is providing monitors/escorts. This is in addition to the usual crew of volunteers needed on any other contest day; chaperones, roadies, etc. We did not have enough Roadies at BOA.  If you can help, please sign up in Charms.

Please come and support the band and encourage any other friends/family to come as it is always more enjoyable for the students to perform at a contest with a large cheering section. Family and friends can show their support by cheering louder than any other band’s supporters. We should hear an especially loud cheer both when they announce our band at the beginning of our performance and at the conclusion of our performance. Applause is also needed after solos, section features, and big musical or visual moments. This is not like concert season. A lot of applause is highly encouraged.
