The Mansfield High School Marching Band is a gold medal winning ensemble of percussion, woodwind and brass musicians supported by the Color Guard. Comprising Honors Band students, the ensemble competes in NESBA and US Bands competitions, as well as performing in parades in town and supporting the Mansfield High School football team during home games.
The competition performances are an elaborate affair, with choreographed movement and props accompanying a specially arranged composition.
After competing in the local NESBA finals, the highlight of the season is always the weekend trip away to New Jersey in November for the US Bands finals competition. Competing under the lights of MetLife Stadium, band members get to perform on a massive stage and rub shoulders with other excellent bands. The weekend includes a trip to Times Square before returning home, exhausted, and ready to dive into the Winter ensembles.
