Overview
The Ram Marching Band is composed of brass, woodwinds, percussion, and
Band Front. The Ram Band performs at all CDHS football games (home, away,
and playoffs), pep rallies,
parades,
and community events, as well as several marching band competitions and
exhibitions and the annual KeyNotes Concert. For scheduling purposes, participation in the Ram Marching
Band ensemble is both curricular, as students receive 0.5 credits as well as
a grade, and extracurricular, as the band rehearses and performs outside of
the school day. Marching Band is open to all dedicated students grades
9-12. As a general rule, the marching band meets only in the fall semester
(although we do participate in the Linglestown Memorial Day Parade).
ATTENDANCE IS MANDATORY FOR ALL REHEARSALS AND PERFORMANCES!!!
Since the
marching band is curricular the school discipline policy remains in effect
at all marching band functions. Also, since marching band is athletic and
requires its members to be in good physical health, students will be asked
to perform stretches and exercises. This is mandatory for all members able
to perform such tasks. Click here for some
information for Eighth Graders. And click

The Spirit of Central Dauphin
At Landis Field on fall Friday nights, the Central Dauphin Ram Band
drumline's cadence is audible before the band is visible; this inspires
excitement in the loyal Central Dauphin football fans. As the band
approaches, fans can begin to see the musicians and the Band Front,
all led by the Central Dauphin Ram Band drum majors. After entering onto
the field, the Ram Band clusters in the end zone awaiting its cue. Once
introduced, the entire Ram Band enthusiastically takes the field for another
exciting performance! Don't miss this year's edition of the Central Dauphin
Ram Marching Band at the performances listed below. Want to volunteer to
