Welcome to Manual High School’s Drumline, “South Side STEEL.” We are doing things quite differently from the past. This year, we are opening our after-school practices to incoming freshmen for the 2025-2026 school year.

We allow Freshmen to participate in our practices every Wednesday. This will continue throughout the summer break as well.

Wednesdays during school: 2:13 pm - 7 pm (arrive when you can)

Wednesdays during summer: 10 am - 3 pm

Practice attire:

White Tee shirt

No jeans allowed

closed-toed shoes

SUMMER 25 BAND CAMP

School is back in session July 30th, 2025. We will host a 2 week band camp where the incoming freshmen will get to experience the full throttle of being a part of our prestigious South Side STEEL drumline.

Practice Times: 10am-3pm Monday thru Friday

Monday & Tuesday the 28th and 29th we will not have practice. Keep in mind that Participating before the 2025-26 school year does not guarentee you a performance slot on our roster but it will increase your odds giving you an advantage to learn the material faser.

Practice attire:

White T-shirt ONLY

Gym shorts ONLY, any color allowed

closed toed-shoes ONLY
