Welcome to the award winning Woodmont Band of Pride! You are about to join a team of talented musicians that creates an experience of a life time through Performance. Every season we have brand new students, just like you and by the end of the season, they are amazing and love the activity. To help you through your fear and anxiety we have a Staff and leadership team that is dedicated to making sure you are prepared for success and making sure you have fun doing it!

 

As a new team member, we are sure you have a lot of questions. We will try to answer those questions below.

 

- What is Marching Band?  

Marching Band is the sport of the music world. It is the combination of Woodwinds, Brass, Percussion, and Colorguard, moving and playing simultaneously to entertain the crowd! Marching Band, also know of the Woodmont Band of Pride, is a highly competitive ensemble. At Band Camp we start teaching, how to march, how to play, and putting together a competitive show that we will take to 4 competitions this season.

 

- What if my child doesn't have any experience?

Everyone in the Band of Pride was in your shoes at one time. We have a proven method to teach every member to be a successful performer. The Staff and Leadership team will be there every step of the way.

​

- I have a middle school student, I'm worried about them being around High School Students, has this ever been an issue?

No, we actually have a large number of middle school students in the band. Our program is built around individuals who are committed to personal growth and excellence. While we believe every student deserves an opportunity, those who consistently display poor attitudes or fail to represent the Woodmont name with integrity may be dismissed from the team. We operate like a close-knit family, and our high school members often look out for and mentor the middle school students—especially as they transition into high school. It’s truly a great group of kids.

 

- Is there a way for my middle school student to get from the Middle School to Woodmont High School for rehearsals?

YES, there is an activity bus that comes from each middle school to the high school. 

 

- How much does it cost?

The Cost is $350.00. A payment plan can be used, email Mr. Schooley for more details. There is a $50.00 discount for each additional band student from the same household.
