NORMAL COMMUNITY HIGH SCHOOL

MARCHING IRONMEN 
 

Welcome to the Normal Community High School Band! 
 

Band is an outstanding group at Normal Community High School. The students in the band program work hard and are duly rewarded for their efforts, all while having a great time! Approximately 10% of the students at NCHS make the commitment to this nationally recognized organization. Many band students also participate in sports, clubs, student council, and other activities. In addition, some of the school’s top academic achievers are a part of the band program.
