Marching Band

The Kailua High School Marching Band has recently received Excellent and Superior ratings this past few years in the competitions and exhibitions we have participated in. We are comprised of 30 students in grades 9-12. Marching Band members MUST be enrolled in the Symphonic Band.

Our marching band is considered to have the most hard-working students in the band. During the summer, they meet for several weeks Monday through Friday in order to condition, learn how to march and learn their music. When school starts, practice is 2:30-6PM on Tuesdays and Thursdays and 10-3 on Saturdays.

We perform annually at our Homecoming game (This year, it was on September 19th against Farrington HS), the Moanalua Menehune Marching Festival, the Kamehameha Tournament of Bands Competition, the Rainbow Marching Band Invitational and the Mililani Bandfest Marching Tournament.
