Marching Band

Welcome to Our Silver Sound Marching Band and Guard Family!

We hope you had a fantastic summer! We are excited to kick off our season on Monday, July 27, 2026!

Marching Mini Camp: Attendance is mandatory for participation in the fall marching show, unless you have received prior permission from the Band Director. No previous sign-up is required to attend. Just come and join us! Please bring your signed and notarized forms from the blue folder, which include:

• Student Medical Consent Form (notarized)

• Parent and Student Contract 2026-27 (notarized)

• Parent/Guardian Consent and Responsibility Statement for Student Participation in Events/Activities

• Release and Consent for Student Information Publication

       (A copy of these forms can be found on the Annual Band Lock-In page.)

Everyone should enter campus via Jog Rd, drive north to the students parking lot (next to the theater), and someone will guide you through the doorway (on the right/South side of the building) and to the band room.  Although we will try to avoid going outside during the hottest hours of the day, it's still HOT!!! Please prepare yourself by consuming more fluids (preferably with electrolytes) daily and avoiding dairy products the morning of marching rehearsals.  We’re looking forward to seeing you all soon!

Volunteers Needed:  We are looking for three volunteers to help with supervision and to keep our students hydrated. We also need fruit cleaned and peeled for the students (oranges, watermelon, grapes). If you can assist for a couple of hours, please email us at volunteers@spanishriverband.org  or visit our SignUpGenius page and select a position.   If you haven't registered as a Palm Beach County School volunteer yet (which is required), you must complete the School District of Palm Beach County Volunteer Application powered by Raptor Technologies. 

Pep rally!  Friday December 13th

For the pep rally (during school, for students only), Marching Band students are excused from 4th period. They should come to the band room instead of 4th period wearing either this year’s Band Show Shirt or a white shirt (or seniors may wear blue!). Students not wearing either of these will not be allowed to perform.  Marching instruments may be returned after the pep rally. Please remove any holiday decorations and please let Mr. White know if there are repairs that need to be made. 

PRO TIPS FOR ALL ATTENDING THE GAME

Reminder that everyone attending after-school events must enter/exit school property via the Jog Rd "Regency" entrance (unless specifically notified otherwise). Please note there is NO entry after half time and games can be sold out prior to halftime so get your tickets early.

Prepare for the weather!  If the sun is out, bring your hats and sunglasses because we are facing west.  If it has rained, you may want to bring something like a plastic bag to sit on if the stands are wet. 

Arrive early as everyone who enters must be wanded.  CLEAR BAGS ONLY.  No outside food or beverages are allowed, but there will be concessions available to purchase. 

The band sits in the northernmost section of the stands. parents are welcome to sit in the next section over.

• 6:00 PM – band marches into stadium for pre-game

• 6:30 PM – kickoff

• Halftime performance

AFTER THE GAME

Students march back to band room, put equipment away/post-performance discussion. Parents should pick up students outside the gate by the south side of the theater.  9:30 PM is the estimated dismissal time (depends on length of game)

Join us at Miller’s Ale House (1200 Yamato Rd) for post-game refreshments and socializing!  The kids sit with the kids and the adults with the adults.

What is CutTime? CutTime is an online music program management tool that simplifies administrative tasks for music programs, benefiting both parents and the band director. Band staff can manage rosters, schedules, communications, and student financials, allowing them to track fees and payments. Parents stay informed about rehearsals, performances, and finances, with access to real-time updates and the ability to manage their child's financial obligations. By streamlining communication and organization, CutTime creates a more efficient and transparent experience for both directors and parents.
