Competitions

The Marching Band participates in competitions and tournaments during first semester with the goal of accruing enough points to compete in the California State Band Championships (CSBC) semi-finals and division finals. For information on all the CSBC tournaments and scoring, visit their website. Schedules for each event are provided by CSBC 2 weeks in advance and can be found on their Events page.

As a spectator you will need to purchase tickets, and concessions will be available. Similar to the Falcon Invitational, tickets and concessions are fundraisers to support the hosting school’s Marching Band Program. Volunteers are provided tickets to the event they are volunteering at free of charge.

Participating students are transported by SDUSD school bus to most events. To enable the program to do this all students need to pay an annual Transportation Fee.

The Winter Guard & Winter Drumline participate in competitions and tournaments during second semester with the goal of accruing enough points to compete in the Winter Guard Association of Southern California (WGASC) semi-finals and division finals. For more info on all the WGASC tournaments and scoring, visit their website. Schedules for each event are provided by WGASC 1 week in advance and can be found on their Upcoming Events page.
