Summer Marching Band

Preparing for the future...

Summer Band is special. While not required, a large portion of the Spartan Marching Band practices and performs throughout the summer in many parades and festivals, including the SeaFair Torchlight Parade. Though the banner says "Sumner High School Spartan Marching Band", this unit includes young musicians from throughout the district, and surrounding areas, donning their purple, playing with the SHS students, as well as with the occasional recent graduate. (More often than not, you might even see some not-so-recent graduates!)

Summer Band is excellent preparation for future bandmates. It's also a very unique opportunity for incoming freshmen and new students to build friendships and strengthen ties with upperclassmen. New band parents can ease into the life of a booster and get to know other parents over the various trips and local parades.
