Quaker Marching Band

06/05/2026

The journey begins.

At our June 4 Information Meeting, the Orchard Park High School Quaker Marching Band officially unveiled its 2026 NYS Field Band Conference production: 𝐕𝐨𝐲𝐚𝐠𝐞𝐫.

Future members and families got their first look at the upcoming season, met the newly announced Drum Major and Section Leaders, and learned what it takes to bring a championship-caliber production to life.

While students met with their sections and leadership teams, parents learned about the QMB Boosters - the dedicated volunteers who help make every performance, competition, trip, and unforgettable experience possible through fundraising and support.

A successful marching band season takes an entire team, and we are excited to welcome both new and returning families as we begin this incredible journey together.

🚀 Welcome to Voyager.

The adventure starts now.

Tonight is the night! Interested in learning more about the Quaker Marching Band and how you or your children can get involved for the 2026/2027 school year?

Join us tonight at 7 p.m. in the Orchard Park High School Auditorium for band/color guard members & parent meeting.

QMB is much more than a typical marching band. They not only march in local parades but also act as the pep band during football games, compete in NYS Field Band Conference shows and the state championships at the JMA Wireless Dome at Syracuse University, and participate in special events all year round!

No music or dance experience is necessary! There is a place for EVERYONE in QMB!!!

EARTHQUAKE vs. STREET BEAT!

Recently, the Orchard Park High School Quaker Marching Band visited Orchard Park Middle School to share what QMB is all about with band, orchestra, and chorus students interested in joining us for the 2026-2027 season.

Students got to hear some of our favorite pep tunes and parade songs, but two sections really brought the energy:

🎺 The Low Brass section performed their legendary football game anthem, Earthquake.

🥁 Drumline brought the house down with the Street Beat cadence that powers us through parades all season long.

If you've ever wondered what it's like to be part of the excitement, the friendships, and the traditions of QMB, this is just a small taste of what awaits!

Check out the video below and see why so many students choose to make QMB part of their high school experience.

Join us for our QMB Information Meeting on Thursday, June 4th at 7 pm at the OPHS Auditorium. This meeting is for anyone inteersted in learning more about QMB - current and future band members and parents are encouraged to attend. Please use the Baker Road entrance.
