Marching Band
The Madera High Marching Band & Colorguard has made a name for itself, before the school split, the band was located on Madera South's campus. In 2007, the band moved back to its home at North Campus. Since then, the band has received many awards and captions for their talent. In November 2010, the band placed 7th out of their division at the Western Band Association Grand Championships with a score of 80.95. The Madera High School Marching Band of the 2012-2013 school year will be hosting championships at Buchanan High School.

Famous quotes containing the words marching and/or band:
“A common and natural result of an undue respect for law is, that you may see a file of soldiers, colonel, captain, corporal, privates, powder-monkeys, and all, marching in admirable order over hill and dale to the wars, against their wills, ay, against their common sense and consciences, which makes it very steep marching indeed, and produces a palpitation of the heart.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“The band waked me with a serenade. How they improve! A fine band and what a life in a regiment! Their music is better than food and clothing to give spirit to the men.”
—Rutherford Birchard Hayes (1822–1893)
