Marching Band (Red Tide Regiment)
Red Tide Regiment will hold a Mini-Camp during the Spring semester. Prospective students will experience a day of Marching Band Camp. They should leave at the end of the day will a full understanding of what their commitment to the Red Tide Regiment means. Be prepared to march, play and work hard. You DO NOT need to prepare any audition music in advance. We will provide music and instruction for you on audition day. This year’s Mini-Camp will be held on Saturday, March 23rd at PVHS from 11-4 pm.
All potential Marching Band, Colorguard and Drumline members should be aware that this is a YEARLONG CLASS. You will march in the Fall and play in Wind Ensemble or Drumline in the Spring. Students are able to use this class to satisfy their PE or their fine arts requirements. The audition contains playing and marching portions. You may be asked to sightread. Please wear comfortable clothing and shoes to your audition.
All potential Colorguard members can email Ms Parkinson ([email protected]) for information. Colorguard is a creative and artistic Dance and Flag team that accompanies and complements the marching band performances. PE credit is given for participation in Colorguard. Colorguard competes with the Marching Band in the fall and independently with the WGASC Winter Guard Circuit in the Spring.
