Congratulations 2019 State Finalist Bear Creek Marching Band
The BCHS Marching Band is one of the most popular organizations on campus. The BCHS Marching Band is the reigning CBA Metro Regional 4A Champion, and has a long history of being selected as a state finalist and semi finalist. The members of the marching band seek to express music at the highest level through music, movement and color. Students rehearse during the summer months, attend a two week band camp, rehearse three times a week and compete during the months of September and October. The marching band seeks musically trained and non-musically trained performers to be a part of this ensemble. To schedule an audition or to be a part of this top level ensemble, please contact Ms. Ahmed at Tammy.Ahmed@jeffco.k12.co.us.

When will the Marching Band end and what is next?
Weather permitting, we will end our rehearsal season on October 28th.
After a short break, we will then transition to our indoor seasons with Winter Percussion and Winter Guard. We will also be adding an indoor chamber ensemble season. Those wishing to play indoors with others will be encouraged to participate. Due to our hybrid/remote schedule, this will be the only full ensemble experience students will have for the remainder of the semester. Students will be required to wear masks at all times while in the building, and have required bell coverings and MERV filters. More information will be forthcoming as we move through October.
Suggested Fee for Marching Band Season
This year, we have not had a traditional season and the $400 participation fee has not been charged. Our fundraising opportunities we have had in place, have all been canceled, leaving us with a deficit this year of approximately $40,000. While we do not have contests, bus or food fees, we still have to cover costs of our marching band staff that have worked with your students online in June and July, and then in person for the months of August - October. To help recover some of these costs, we are asking families for a $100 donation per student. This works out to approximately $2.90 per rehearsal or $1.45 per hour of instruction.
Please pay this fee in one of the following manners:

Important Performance Requirements
Shorts: Students will be required to wear a pair of thin shorts under their uniform for each performance. Changing in and out of uniform in front of others without shorts and a T-shirt on is in bad taste. Judges and other bands will form judgments about your performance by your actions on and off the field. Shirts: Students will be required to wear their season shirts under their uniform for all performances. Wearing this shirt will make it easy to identify students in our group. Hair: Neat, clean hair is a requirement. No long hair should be showing on the collars of the uniform. Students who have long hair must have their hair put into a ponytail, French braid, etc. and tucked securely under their hats. Skull caps can be purchased to wear under the hat to keep hair in place. The cost is $16.00 or you can purchase your own at any sporting goods store. Jewelry: Students are not allowed to wear jewelry of any kind. This includes necklaces, rings, watches, nose rings, earrings, etc. Makeup: Subtle make-up on girls is allowed. The color guard will wear make-up specific to their costume. Please do not have nail polish on finger nails, and no acrylic nails. Instruments: It is expected that instruments will be shined before each performance and in superior working condition.
