Yes marching band is after school in FCPS. But that still conflicts with a fall sport, as some noted. Additionally, some segue into the question about curricular band taking away an elective spot over the four years, which is why some in FCPS do PE or consumer finance over the summer.

I don’t believe in my kid’s FCPS school that you can be in marching band (an after school activity) without being signed up for some band class. I could be wrong on that though.

Yes of course you have to be in an actual band class to be in marching band. Exceptions of course are the colorguard, and students who play piano or electric guitar etc. in the front ensemble
