The "Golden Roar" Marching Band
The McMillen "Golden Roar" Marching Band is the largest and one of the most active spirit and competition groups on campus. The Golden Roar participates in various pep rallies and spirit events throughout the year and performs at each home football game and select basketball games. Each year in October, the marching band participates in the UIL Marching Band Contest and the Plano East Marching Invitational. The band has earned Superior and Excellent marks in each of these contests since the school's opening. The Golden Roar also participates in the annual Plano Christmas Parade. All members of the McMillen band program are automatically a part of the marching band. Due to expense and potential maintenance hazards, DOUBLE REED INSTRUMENTS are not part of the marching band. Options for double reed students include: color guard, front ensemble, or a secondary instrument. Members are expected and required to meet all scheduled sectional, rehearsal, and performance obligations.
