It is a seasonal activity that begins in the late summer and ends in early November. The marching band is made up of wind instrumentalists, percussionists, and the color guard.

The 2024 Season

The 2024 Marching Band competitive season concluded with the band's final performance of JOURNEY TO THE BOTTOM OF THE SEA at NJMBDA State Championships at TCNJ. The band earned second place in class AAA with a score of 89.000 and won the caption award for best visual performance in class AAA. This marks the fourth straight season of medaling in the top three at state championships. The performance at TCNJ marked the end of another successful season, highlighted by another finals appearance and top 10 finish at a Bands of America Regional Championship and an unforgettable overnight trip to Delaware and Six Flags.

The 2023 Season

The 2023 Season saw the band proudly reach new heights. The story of the season was headlined by the band's qualification for FINALS at a Bands of America Regional Championship for the first time since 2016. The band earned 11th in prelims, placing third in class AAAA and winning the caption award for best visual. Finals under the lights at Rutgers University was truly special! The band followed up with a second place finish in class AAA at a rainy & cold NJMBDA State Championships at TCNJ only 24 hours later to put a great finish on a special season.

The 2022 Season

The 2022 season will be remembered for the incredible growth of the members and the 2022 show - GOING FOR GOLD, but will also be remembered for the amazing finish in our last two shows at the BOA Rutgers Regional Championship (earning third place in group AAAA) and NJMBDA State Championships (earning third place in group AA and best overall effect). The season also featured a performance at People's Plaza in Philadelphia, PA in front of Independence Hall as a part of a fun weekend trip that included a performance at the University of Delaware BOA Regional Championship, and many special landmark performances and practices along the way.
