Our bands include:
The Spirit of McIntosh Marching Band, Four Concert Bands (Wind Ensemble, Wind Symphony, Symphonic Winds, Symphonic Band) several instrumental choirs, ensembles, jazz bands, pep bands, and winter guard.

Our Marching Band show and plans for the coming season will be announced in the spring. Interested incoming students will be asked to attend an after school practice or two so they can learn a few basic marching techniques and meet their upper-classmen. Marching Band Camp in 2010 will be July 17-July 28th. All students who intend to march are required to attend marching band camp. This is when the students and parents do the most work preparing the fall show so it is important that all members be present. Additional one day summer practices may be scheduled as well. After school practices will be held on alternating Mondays, every Tuesday and every Thursday through October. Two or three additional Saturday practices are also scheduled. The schedule may vary slightly from one year to the next depending on the requirements of the show and the needs of the students. Our marching band performs at all varsity football games on Friday evenings and attends three competitions on Saturdays in October. Additionally, there is a county-wide marching band competition, usually held on a Saturday in late September. Marching band season is busy, but also a LOT of fun!
 
The concert bands meet daily and students audition to be placed into a group based on their ability. Concert Band auditions for the 2010-2011 school year will were held on April 17, 2010. Students who are interested in joining the band program may contact  Ms. Baker at to inquire about band placement. 
 
Below are additional forms and information available to help incoming band members and parents learn about our band program.
