Verrado High School
Viper Thunder Classic
The Verrado High School Viper Vanguard Marching Band will be hosting its annual Viper Thunder Classic Band Invitational in the Fall of 2025. A band invitational is a state-recognized competition where high school marching bands from all over the valley will compete. Bands are judged on music performance, general effect, and percussion. This is a great opportunity to watch some of the best musicians from valley high schools, including many from the west valley.
We do not enforce a clear bag policy; however, all spectators will be required to pass through our weapons detection system.
