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)
“What passes for identity in America is a series of myths about one’s heroic ancestors. It’s astounding to me, for example, that so many people really seem to believe that the country was founded by a band of heroes who wanted to be free. That happens not to be true. What happened was that some people left Europe because they couldn’t stay there any longer and had to go someplace else to make it. They were hungry, they were poor, they were convicts.”
—James Baldwin (1924–1987)
