We welcome you to the 2023 Mineola High School Mustang Marching Band season. The Mineola Marching Band has been a proud part of the school district for many decades.
Students from 8th through 12th grade may participate in the Marching Band. There is no audition to participate. You do not need to be proficient in an instrument or colorguard in order to join - we are happy to teach you. We only ask your commitment to attending rehearsals, band camp and competitions.
Become a proud member of the award winning Mineola Marching Band. You won't regret it!
Attendance Policy
To participate in the Marching Band, each student must submit a schedule with any conflicts for the months of July, August, September, and October, as soon as possible. This includes family trips, weddings, bar/bat mitzvahs, confirmations, and athletic practices and games. Every rehearsal is MANDATORY. If a rehearsal must be missed, a note or email from the parent/guardian must be submitted to the Band Director at least two weeks in advance. Every competition is MANDATORY. If you cannot attend a competition for whatever reason (unless it is a family emergency), then you may be asked to withdraw from the activity. Rehearsals begin at 5:30pm. This does not mean you arrive at the high school at 5:30pm. It means you are prepared to begin rehearsal at 5:30pm. If you are late for three rehearsals or absent from rehearsal without due notice, you will be put on probation. If there is one more lateness and/or absence, your participation in this activity may be jeopardized. If lateness and/or absence become persistent, you may be asked to withdraw from the marching band.
