Home Football Games

What to Expect at Home Football Games

What From September through November the Marching Sundevils perform at all home football games.  The Marching Sundevils is both a pep band during the game and performs its field show during half-time. The band and guard provide a high degree of excitement and entertainment at the games which adds to the campus atmosphere. Without our participation, games would not be as exciting or fun to see.

Need Money? Your student typically will not need money for home football games
Parking Parking is very tight during home football games.  If you’re just dropping students off, you can do so on the main street by the band room.
Can My Student Drive Him/Herself? Yes, if your student is a licensed driver and has parent permission – but be aware that parking is difficult at home football games
Can I Watch? Parents are encouraged to come to as many home football games as possible.  Yes, parents must pay to get into all football games. MCHS Band parents wear the red colors and sit on the east end of the field near the band.
Why should I attend? Watching the band perform at home football games gives parents a chance to see the incredible progress our students make over the course of marching season.  In the early games, the band only performs a selection or two from the field show.  As the season progresses the entire field show is revealed and marching/music evolves into an exciting display.  Your attendance gives support to our students.
Volunteer Opportunities Volunteers are needed for a variety of events throughout the school year.  Ask a Band Booster board member or committee chair how you can help for a single day or multiple activities throughout the band season.
