Varsity Block What is Varsity Block? Developmental role for members of the band who may need additional time and experience prior to marching all performing events. Varsity Block members perform drill at all football games and potentially for some competitions. Members could fill openings should an injury occur. After one season, a student in Varsity Block should move into our competition drill.
Varsity Block How students are evaluated: Rookie Days, Spring Camp and July 4 Rehearsals Evaluated throughout the season for readiness to jump into a spot, regardless of instrument. Decisions will be made by our first week of band camp starting on July 22.
