Marching Band

< Color Guard / Winter Guard  |  Marching Band  |  Jazz Band >
​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. ​ 

Marching Band Upcoming Football Game Performances

No more scheduled for the 2020 season

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:

  • Send a check made payable to: BCHSIMP and give to Ms. Ahmed
  • Log into Charmsoffice.com and make a payment. To log into Charms to make a payment, please see information on our website.
  • Click the Donate button below to pay by PayPal (be sure to notate it is for Marching Band)

Just like we had to sign waivers for Jeffco in order to practice, we also must have medical forms on file. Please download and fill out this medical form:

Volunteer Opportunities:
​Thank to all the wonderful dedicated parents for helping this ensemble put on an award winning season! Please go to CHARMS volunteer section to find out where you can help or click on the Volunteer link.

PLEASE NOTE:
Drivers and Chaperones and Hospitality will be included in the head count for our food needs. Since they are there all day and required to be with the students, they will be fed. All other volunteers should plan accordingly. In the past if there was downtime in between performances, you may grab a bite elsewhere.

CHAPERONES:  STAY WITH THE BAND all day, keep kids hydrated, first aid, sunblock, etc. Ride back to school at end of event, take attendance on bus, empty water bottles back at BCHS. This is a full day responsibility and cannot be combined with any other roles. 
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.
Performance dates:

Uniforms Marching Band members are judged at contests on various criteria, among them, uniformity of appearance. It is important that all students dress in consistent apparel. Below is a list of requirements for all marching band students. Bear Creek H.S. provides each student with a uniform.  The uniform is on loan and is to be returned at the end of the season. 
  • Jacket & Mirrors, bibbed pants, gauntlets, shako hat & plum, gloves, If lost, $5.00 per pair Black Shoes-Super Drillmasters
  • Shoes Must purchased through our Uniform Chairperson, No substitutions.  
  • Color Guard members will purchase a shoe specifically designed for dance. Shoes will be ordered through the band and prices will be made available at a later date.
  • Shoes must be shined before each performance.. Please make checks payable to BCHSIMP.
  • DO NOT IRON UNIFORMS! ​
​FEES: There is a $400.00 charge per student. These fees are paid directly to the music program, NOT to the school. (Please note that the Marching Band program has an additional $100.00 fee, payable to the school at registration.) You can either leave your payments in the booster box in Ms. Ahmed’s office or you can mail them to:
