Marching Hawks 2026 - Preliminary Information

The Marching Hawks perform at the South County Invitational, September 20, 2025.

It is hard to believe, but it is time to start preparing for the 2026 Marching Hawks season. Plans are well underway for our Spring Training event and beyond, so here’s some preliminary information to help you plan your summer.

Band Camp Dates

August 3-7 and August 10-14, from 8:00am to 4:30pm – please do your best to make sure all students are at band camp for both weeks!

August 18 and 19; 5:00-8:00pm

Fees

The current projection is for a slight increase in fees to $320.00 total for the season due to a rise in transportation and production costs. These fees will be assessed in the Fall of 2026 via MySchoolBucks invoicing. Additional fees assessed via the School Store as follows:

  • Color Guard Fee - $45.00 – Covers a portion of color guard-specific items.

  • Shoe Fee - $40.00 – For first-time Marching Hawks members, or returning members needing to replace their shoes.

  • Percussion Fee - $30.00 – FCPS-required fee for all percussion (Battery and Front Ensemble) members for use of school instruments (FCPS N5922)

Spring Training 2026 – May 13 and 14; 3:30-6:00pm

All returning members of the Marching Hawks are invited to participate in the two-day Spring Training event! This serves as a recruitment opportunity for new members as well as instructional time for returning members. Attendance is not mandatory to participate in the 2026 Marching Hawks, but is HIGHLY encouraged!

As always, if you have any questions, I will do my best to answer them. I am still waiting on the football schedule to determine our performance schedule for the season. I will send that information out as soon as possible. I’m looking forward to another great year for the Marching Hawks!
