The Marching Warriors

The Marching Warriors is a precision marching band combining winds, percussion, and color guard.  The marching band at Waubonsie Valley strives to provide a unique and excellent musical experience while promoting teamwork, dedication, and school-spirit.  They perform at all home football games, competitions, parades, and other special events.  The season begins in August with a week-long camp of intensive rehearsals and concludes in late October.  Membership is voluntary, but requires a full commitment to the rehearsal and performance schedule.

The band has represented its school and community on both a national and international level.  Notable performances include:
  • Outback Bowl Game & Parade, Tampa, Florida
  • Magic Music Days Parade, Disney's Magic Kingdom, Orlando, Florida
  • New Year's Day Parade, London, England
  • Bands of America Regional Performances                             ​
