The Glenbrook South Marching Titans is a co-curricular activity made up of students from Titan Band, Symphonic Band and Symphonic Winds. The Marching Band performs during the summer and fall at parades and home football games, while competing at several Chicagoland marching festivals.
In addition to their normal class time, students are required to attend a week of Band Camp during the summer as well as special Tuesday and Thursday evening rehearsals that run through the fall. Juniors and seniors are permitted to take a P.E. class exemption for the duration of the marching season.
