Dear Pep Band Musicians and families, Northgate High School is pleased to welcome you to our inaugural Pep Band during the 2026-2027 season! We look forward to continuing to be a vital part of the Northgate Broncos’ spirit and community outside of football season. 

Pep Band is a fun way to make music, cheer on fellow students and represent Northgate. 

Pep Band is open to anyone in Instrumental Music. We are also open to anyone at Northgate who can pass a basic audition on their instrument. 

What does our season look like?

We aim to meet two times a week. Early on, it will be a mix of rehearsals and games, later in the season we will primarily attend games. Attendance to all pep band events is optional, however we ask for at least one week notice for events you will NOT be attending. Please note, students in the music program are not allowed to attend pep band events within 48 hours of an adjudicated event (such as CMEA, folsom jazz festival, etc). 

Who do we cheer on?

Men and Women varsity Basketball, Men and Women soccer and more. 

What does the fee go to?

Pep Band tshirt, new music and supplies. 

Staff:

Our staff this season is Kevin Prough, Sabrina Hart and Parent Coordinator Alisa Kutsel.
