about Marching Band
MIGHTY HAWK BAND
Known as the Pride of Heath, the Mighty Hawk Band is the largest music and spirit organization on campus! Since 2005, hundreds of students have performed music while marching visual interpretations alongside the color guard at half-time shows and marching band competitions in the months of August-November.
PURPOSE
The program’s primary focus is to provide comprehensive music education with the intention to equip tomorrow’s musical enthusiasts with the tools they need to enjoy a lifetime of music no matter their career choice.
STUDENTS
Loyalty, cooperation, and determination are the characteristic traits of a band student. All band members establish individual goals for improvement, act responsibly, and give their best effort for the continued success of the organization. Auditions for varsity positions in the marching show are held in August of each year. All student musicians are required to audition.
AWARDS
Over the years, the band has been recognized for presenting high-quality musical and visual programs that have accumulated countless awards in all areas of the music program: marching band, percussion, color guard, ensembles for concert and jazz bands as well as for soloists.
In the 2024-2025 school year, the Mighty Hawk Band advanced to the 6A Area C Marching Contest Finals with the highest placement in school history. 69 students successfully placed in one of the TMEA Region 3 Honor Bands, with 15 of those students advancing to Area. 10 students placed into one of the Region 3 Jazz Ensembles.
NEEDS
As the largest organization on campus, the Mighty Hawk Band depends on the help of the band families and community. From building props to chaperoning trips and sponsoring the band for equipment needs, there is always a need for helping hands and generous contributions. All donations are tax-deductible.
