The Shorecrest High School Marching Band will hold a public rehearsal on Saturday, March 5 at 8am at the Shorecrest Track, 15343 25th Ave NE, Shoreline 98155.

This will be your last chance to see them practice before they head to Ireland to perform at the Dublin St. Patrick’s Day Parade and Celbridge St. Patrick’s Day Parade on March 17. While in Ireland, the band will also participate in the Limerick International Band Competition, attend music workshops and perform at Kilkenny Castle.

The Shorecrest group heads to Ireland every four years to perform in the world-famous Dublin parade. Here is a link to video of their performance in the 2012 parade.

The Shorecrest Marching Band is comprised of 144 students, including band, flags, pipers, cheerleaders and dancers. They will be accompanied by 12 parent chaperones and six staff members on their trip. Students, staff and community members raised funds throughout the year to support the marching band and this year’s Ireland trip.
