The Concord Classic is Saturday, February 25th. Volunteers are Needed Now!
We expect a record-breaking number of participating groups at this year's Concord Classic! We will need LOTS of volunteers from our extended band family (students, parents, alumni, etc.) to help make this a successful event!. The Concord Classic is a very important fundraiser that benefits the ENTIRE Concord band program & Band Boosters, not only the Winterguard.

The Concord Colorguard is the visual ensemble for the Spider Marching Band. Members are selected through an audition process in the Spring prior to marching season, and they practice both with the Concord “Marching Spiders” and separately throughout the Summer & Fall.
The indoor Winterguard is chosen by audition in late fall and performs on the Carolina Winter Ensemble Association (CWEA) circuit from January-April.
