The Pit Crew Scholarship recognizes and rewards senior members of the GHS Mustang Band who maintain a good academic standing and who exemplify what might be called the “pit crew work ethic” – working behind the scenes, doing unglamorous but necessary work, without seeking a reward other than helping the band. Band member(s) who are selected to receive a scholarship are recognized at the annual band banquet with a financial award that can range from $500 - $1000. The link to apply for a Pit Crew Scholarship will be posted on the Band Website on November 1st, 2022. The deadline to submit an application will be November 15th, 2022. Apply for the Pit Crew Scholarship.

Change in Rehearsal Schedule

The Mustang Guard has had an amazing marching band season this year, and we are excited to continue our growth into the winter guard season! As the marching rehearsals are ending, the team will begin transitioning into our winter guard prep schedule. Once a week starting in Nov, then twice a week in Dec.

In the spring semester, guard will be in 2nd period for class and after school for rehearsals. Performance and competition dates have been published to the band calendar and can be found on the winter guard page too. GO GUARD!
