The Marching Band at Mason High School is the largest student organization on
campus with over 200 students involved. The Marching Band consists of students
from all five concert bands, as well as color guard students who may not be in a
band. Students do not have to be in Marching Band to be in a Concert Band, but
all students in Marching Band must be enrolled in a Concert Band, with the
exception of Color Guard members. As a co-curricular activity, students in
Marching Band receive .5 credits for participation in this class which meets
entirely outside of the school day. Marching Band begins with a
