EMU Band Day
Band Day: Every year since 1974, the EMU Marching Band (EMUMB) has invited area high schools to Rynearson Stadium, providing high school marching band students a taste of college marching band. In preparation for EMU Band Day, the APHS Band students will learn EMU’s half-time show music.The morning of Band Day, we will arrive at APHS to gather instruments, music, and uniforms; then, we will take a bus to EMU’s Rynearson Stadium.
During the day, the students will watch the EMUMB’s rehearsal, rehearsal with the EMUMB and the other high school band in attendance, eat lunch, watch the EMU Drumline Show, watch the EMUMB pre-game show, watch the football game, perform half-time with the EMUMB, watch the rest of the game, and perform post-game with the EMUMB.
Parents are more than welcome to come either as chaperones or football game spectators. Chaperones get free tickets and may drive separately. Parent spectators will be provided a link for discounted tickets.
