Forest Lake Marching Band & Color Guard Grades 7-12


Youth Secondary Grade 6-12 / Classes & Activities -
Spr/Sum 2026 (Apr-Aug)

The Forest Lake Marching Band is growing, and we need you! We will rehearse, perform in area parades and at community events, and have an end-of-season celebration. A polo shirt is included in the registration fee, with a reduced fee available for those who have their shirt from previous years. Use section A to register for Marching Band & Color Guard and select if you need a polo shirt or if you have a polo shirt. Use section B to purchase additional shirts for yourself or family members for $31-$33 each. Shirts are available in men's and women's styles in sizes XS-XXXL.

Color Guard - If you need gloves and/or a skirt, these items are optional, and you can order them from a link in the document below. You can choose to wear your own black shorts, pants, or skirt if you prefer.

Registration deadline is May 13. Late registrants may not get their polo shirt in time for band photos and the first parade.
