    The Solon High School Marching Band consists of about 250 dedicated musicians and Starlette Dancers. All band members participate at band camp for one week at Walsh University in Canton, OH.  We perform at all football games, our Band Bash, and other band shows. We play at the Solon Home Days Parade, Memorial Day Parade, and usually one professional sport venue each year. We Solon Band at Cavs Gamehave performed for the Cleveland Indians, Cleveland Cavaliers (x2), and the Cleveland Browns.
