months. Students deciding to join marching band after this
due date will be allowed on a space-available basis and will only be
accepted as an alternate awaiting an open position in the
drill. Students moving into the MVHS attendance area
during the summer months and who are new to

reserve basis, but will be given priority as positions
become available. Our marching band drill will be
custom-designed
based on the number of deposits received by the due date. |
