2024-25 Sumner HS Marching Band & Color Guard
(Updated 1/19/2025)
We had a very good week last week as we worked on rounding-out our Symphonic Band pieces for our upcoming concert (more info on that later) and performed for 2 more wins for our Boys and Girls BB teams. We’re also getting close to the Valley Region Solo-Ensemble Contest in a couple of weeks Saturday February 1st at Puyallup HS - it’s 3 weeks earlier than it’s been in the past so we’re hoping that it doesn’t catch our students off-guard. Because of that and since we had to wait to start our Symphonic Band part of the year with our Holiday Bowl performances we decided to change the date of our Winter Band Concert from the previous date of February 5th Wednesday to a more-reasonable Thursday February 27th so students can be prepared both for Solo-Ensemble Contest and have a chance to get farther along on the Symphonic music. So, the Sumner HS Winter Band Concert, featuring Jazz Ensembles A and B and the 9/10 and 11/12 Symphonic Bands will now be Thursday night February 27th starting at 7:00PM in the Sumner PAC.
We’ve got a fairly busy and important week coming-up this week, as we perform at 2 BIG Basketball Pep Band performances - on Wednesday night January 22nd for the Girls BB game vs. Puyallup HS and then on Friday will be our VERY BIG (literally) 8th Grader Night, when we invite all of our incoming 8th Graders to attend and be a part of the Sumner HS BB Pep Band for a night - our first of 3 big recruitment-events for next year (the other 2 being the Big Band Dance in March and the 3rd being the Night Before the Daffodil Parades event at Sunset Stadium in April). It’s always a lot of fun and a great chance to get to know the newest members of our Sumner HS Band Program family for next year.
So, let’s end the first semester on an exciting and fun week and get started on the second half of our record-setting 2024-25 year - here’s our schedule for the next couple of weeks:

Thank you for doing an absolutely excellent job this first semester. We had an incredible football season with more than double our regular season performances at games right up through the State Championship! And we WON the Auburn Championship for the 3rd consecutive year! Then we went on a once-every-4-years outstanding trip to the San Diego Holiday Bowl! Then we’ve had 13 Pep Band performances so far (with more to come as we work our way through the playoffs) - what a year that’s only technically half over at the end of this week! You are a FANTASTIC group of students and parents and I hope things continue to go as well as they’ve gone so far - let’s try to keep the momentum going and have a rewarding second half of the year!
