All high school seniors interested in playing with the Marching Thunder are welcome to join us for this fun event.

We invite you to come spend the afternoon with us in the Joan C. Edwards Stadium to experience some game day excitement. Kickoff for the spring game starts at 3pm and we will being playing music during the game and at halftime (no marching for this one). All high school seniors are more than welcome to join us, especially if  you are interested in being in the Marching Thunder in the fall. This is for any brass, percussion, color guard, or majorettes.

The itinerary for the day will be posted here (once determined). No rehearsal, no expectations. Just come and have a good time.

The game will last approximately 2 hours, as it will be a running clock with quarter breaks and halftime. All you have to do is bring your instrument and wear green and/or white. Preferably Marshall gear.
