Holly High School Performing Arts
The Holly High School band program consists of marching band and colorguard during the fall season and concert/symphony band during the winter and spring seasons. Before school starts up, the marching band goes to Camp Lael in Lapeer, Michigan for band camp. There, they teach the incoming freshmen marching techniques, discipline, and style. They also practice their band show and music to prepare for upcoming festivals and competitions. The Holly High School Bronchos Marching Band marches in various Holly parades including the Carry Nation, Memorial, Holly Homecoming, and the Winter Dickens Festival Parade. Usually, the marching band participants participate in concert/symphony season when the marching season ends. Students who were previously part of the Benjamin H. Sherman Middle School Bronchos Marching Band move up to the high school band. The band members play at student athletic activities such as home football games during the fall season and basketball games during the winter season. During basketball season, the band students participate in a Pep band.

“and the oxen near
The worn foundations of their resting-place,
The holy manger where their bed is corn
And holly torn for Christmas. If they die,
As Jesus, in the harness, who will mourn?
Lamb of the shepherds, Child, how still you lie.”
—Robert Lowell (1917–1977)

Except the few burnt lands, the narrow intervals on the rivers, the bare tops of the high mountains, and the lakes and streams, the forest is uninterrupted.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“One non-revolutionary weekend is infinitely more bloody than a month of permanent revolution.”
