Dear Marching Band and Auxiliary (MBA) Musicians and Families, Northgate High School would like to officially welcome everyone to our 2026 season! We are a vital part of the Northgate Broncos’ spirit and can't wait to see you this season!

MBA is a great way to have fun, make friends, play music, and represent Northgate.

This season we are excited to re-introduce DRUM LINE under the direction of Mike Arnold. This group of percussionists and friends meet on Tuesdays to practice a separate competition piece. All percussionists are strongly encouraged to sign up.
