Hello Future Marching Knights!
Hello Future Marching Knights!
We are looking forward to the 2024 Middle School Band Night! All 7th and 8th grade band students from schools that feed into Prospect are invited to join us on Thursday, October 10th. You’ll learn how to march and during the pregame show you will play the Prospect School Song(Loyalty) and the National Anthem on the field alongside the current Prospect Marching Knights. You can get music for both of these pieces from your band director. If you are interested in color guard, come join us as well!
That night you will receive a short sleeve t-shirt provided by Prospect Band Boosters (if you have one from a past year, please bring it) and should wear jeans and sneakers to complete a “uniform” look. Feel free to bring a long sleeve shirt to wear underneath if it is cold.

Our goal in hosting this event is to provide a fun evening at Prospect for you, our future Marching Knights, where you can experience a small taste of what it's like to be in the band or color guard, and to spend time with some of your future band mates.
