Marching Band

The Marching Knights take to the field in the Fall performing at SFS Football games, home and away! The Marching Knights keep the fans engaged throughout the game. At halftime, Mr. Collier and his team arrange for a memorable show every week playing classic hits all season long.

Pep Band

The pep band plays at every home basketball game. They mainly play before the game, but also during timeouts and quarter changes. From the start of the season to the end, the SFS Pep Band helps keep the crowd engaged and provides energy!

Concert Band

The concert band plays more traditional music in a concert setting. They hold two concerts a year: one in December and one in the spring. The concert band is sure to always draw a crowd!

Band Camp

Every year, our marching band spends a week at Camp Nuhop, in Ashland County, Ohio. We spend the week learning our halftime show for that season. It isn't all work though: there's lots of opportunities for activities and bonding, such as a ropes course, and there's something for everyone. There's never a dull moment at Band Camp!

The band director

The band has been under the direction of Mr. Carl Collier for almost 40 years. Since 1986, he has lead the band and shaped it into the program it is today.

No experience necessary

You can join the band, even if you don't have any experience. Many of the students had never played their instrument before they started, such as Zane Newland (pictured). We will work with you and help you improve no matter what your skill level is!

Beyond the Band Room Doors

Our band students don't just do band. We provide them the time and flexibility to continue doing the other things they enjoy. From musical to art to horseback riding, you don't have to give up what you already do to join band!
