AND COLOR GUARD

The Fairfax Marching Lions is the most visible component of the FHS Bands.  Marching season lasts from July through early November, and typically includes:

 

  • 1 informational meeting for students and parents (spring of the year before)

  • 3 weeks of daily marching band camp, when we learn the bulk of that year’s show (August - start of school); rookies also have a short camp in late July to learn the basics

  • 3 after school or evening rehearsals per week after school starts

  • 5 performances at home football games (and 1-2 pep bands at away games)

  • 5 regional marching competitions (Saturdays)

  • 4 parades

COLOR GUARD

Our guard is an integral part of our FHS Bands Program. They greatly enhance the overall visual effect of our marching show, with choreographed dance, flag, sabre and rifle routines. ANY FHS Student, male and female, is welcome to tryout for a spot in our Color Guard, and no prior experience is necessary! Students with previous dance experience are highly encouraged to consider joining our Color Guard.
