Cheer only for our team, and don’t cheer negatively EVER (this includes at the other team and the officials).  Keep the language clean.

We will stand up the entire game.

Play only when the band plays.  If we play while the ball is inbounds, it is a technical foul.

Do not play or wave your instrument during free throws for either team, it is a technical foul.  You can yell, clap, wave your arms, etc.

Concord Marching Spiders Featured in the Independent Tribune

Concord High Schools' Spider Marching Band was featured in an article appearing in the Indepedent Tribune on Friday, August 21st!   The article, written by Independent Tribune reporter Jennifer Groover, can be read here.

Spider Marching Band

The marching band is the largest and most visible ensemble in the band department.   No other group will perform as often, or to as many people in as many places as the marching band.  Wherever they travel, they are school ambassadors, and Mr. Morin expects every student to represent him/herself, the band, and the school community in superior fashion.

For many students, it may be the first competitive group where they feel welcomed and accomplished.  It is the ensemble that offers the greatest number of achievement levels to students.   All students willing to devote their time and energies to the Spider Marching Band are welcome in the group, even if they have not previously participated in band activities.

Each season, the Spider Marching Band has tackled an increasingly more challenging marching show with the majority of the progressive musical concepts and design elements crafted by Mr. Morin, his staff, and student leaders.
