Summer Creek High School

About SCMB

The Summer Creek Marching Band is the largest and most visible organization on campus. It is a combination of wind instruments, percussion instruments, and the Color Guard that come together for visual and musical productions like none you've ever experienced! The band performs at all Varsity football games, pep rallies, competitions, and other various community events and hosts concerts throughout the school year.

During the fall semester, all band members are part of SCMB. During this time, all band students work to produce our halftime and competition performances. You can find us doing this on our practice lot after school. During the spring semester, the band gets divided into 3 different large music ensembles geared toward stage concerts, and the Color Guard prepares their indoor competition productions.
