Waconia Middle & High School Pep Band

Waconia Pep Bands

Waconia Public Schools take pride in both academic and athletic excellence, and our Pep Bands are a vital part of that tradition. The Waconia Middle School and High School Pep Bands provide spirit and support at athletic events, pep rallies, and other school and community activities — energizing athletes, fans, and audiences wherever they perform.

The Pep Bands are not only a source of school spirit — they also serve as ambassadors for the Waconia music program and the community at large. By bringing enthusiasm, quality musicianship, and pride to every performance, our students showcase the best of Waconia’s commitment to the arts, athletics, and community engagement.

Requirements:
