Marching Band

Fine & Performing Arts

From Halftime to Showtime

The King’s Way Marching Band exploded onto the scene in 2019-2020 to thunderous applause from fans and students alike! Bringing an edge of heightened excitement this inaugural year in our new football stadium, the marching band launched a bright new tradition for the school. School pride, musicianship, camaraderie, integrity, and tradition combined to make this first year impactful to the community. This new program hopes to inspire many new members to join and share their God-given talents in a fun, challenging, and exciting way for the school.

 

Concert Band season follows Marching Band season. We perform three concerts per year, participate in at least one festival, as well as learn music theory, music history, and best performance practices. Next year, our goal is to take a trip to an out-of-state music festival.

“…praise him with timbrel and dancing,
praise him with the strings and pipe,
praise him with the clash of cymbals,
praise him with resounding cymbals.
Let everything that has breath praise the Lord.
Praise the Lord.”

Psalm 150:4-6
