Fall Semester - Marching Band
The San Marcos Marching Band and Colorguard functions as both a competition and show band. They perform during half time at SMHS varsity football games and at the annual Santa Barbara Downtown Holiday Parade. They compete throughout Southern California but have also been to several state and national competitions.
The Marching Band includes brass, woodwind, battery percussion, and front ensemble percussion instruments. The Color Guard combines weapon and flag work with movement and dance which drives the concepts of the show and adds fantastic visuals to the show.
