Estero High School Music

The Wildcat Marching Band is the most visual ensemble at Estero High. Students meet after school for rehearsals and perform at all Varsity Football Games. The Wildcat Marching Band also performs in the Florida Bandmasters Association Music Performance Assessment and is responsible for representing the spirit of Estero High School both on and off the football field. Each year we march in a variety of parades from Veteran's Day, St. Patrick's Day and the world-renowned Edison Festival of Lights Grand Parade. The Wildcat Marching Band provides some of the best opportunities for leadership & character development, discipline and esprit de corps.
