The Marching Knights include all students enrolled in the Oak Creek High School Band. Throughout the year, members enjoy a comprehensive music education program that provides opportunities in Marching Band, Pep Band, Jazz Combo, Jazz Ensemble, Concert Band, Solo/Ensemble, Pit Orchestra, and Music Theory. The band travels throughout the year to perform in marching contests, jazz festivals, and clinics across Wisconsin and the United States. Last April the Oak Creek High School Band traveled to Philadelphia, Pennsylvania for their annual performance tour. While there, the band performed at the University of Pennsylvania and worked with Dr. Brad Smith while enjoying a wide variety of historical, cultural and educational experiences. The members of the Oak Creek High School Band take great pride in their musical accomplishments and reputation for maintaining the highest standards of integrity and character. The 2010 Oak Creek High School Marching Knights are extremely proud to present their production Baile Con Vida! (Dance through Life) The four movements include "La Suerte de Los Tontos," "Novus," "New Way Home," and "Escorpion." Each song showcases the different sections of the marching band - Horns, Guard and Percussion. Celebrate with us as we highlight different emotions ranging from free-spirited to reflective, and energetic to intensely passionate.
