A new drumline and color guard are now in the works at Malad High School. The MHS Dragon Drumline and Color Guard are planned to begin this Spring, working towards performing in upcoming local parades and in both community and high school events. MHS Band Director Foster Garret and several other MHS teachers are heading the program. “We are very excited for this new opportunity,” said Garrett. “We have very talented students in Malad, and a drumline and color guard feel like the right fit, right now, to help students get more involved, to have fun, and to expand their abilities.” MHS has a long tradition of excellent marching bands but has been without a marching program for decades. The hope is the new drumline and color guard will be the first step towards bringing a full marching band program back to the school. Along with Foster Garrett, Krista Karn will head the color guard program, Jennie McClain will work with the drumline, and Bryce Casselman will assist with marching and music. 

All students interested in joining the drumline and color guard and their parents are invited to an information meeting at 7 p.m. on Wednesday, April 23, in the high school band room. Community members who wish to get involved by donating their time or talents or by supporting the program financially should contact Foster Garrett at [email protected].
