The Jets
The Next Generation of Marion Champions
The Jets are Marion's Junior Class corps — the proving ground where young performers develop the skills, discipline, and competitive fire that define a champion. The Jets don't just prepare you for the field. They prepare you for everything that comes after.
Built to Develop Champions
The Jets were established to give Marion's youngest and most promising performers a competitive home. Junior Class competition provides a structured, high-energy environment where performers can grow rapidly under experienced instruction and push themselves against peers from across the region.
Many of Marion's most accomplished alumni — including current and former Cadets members — trace their competitive roots to the Jets. The corps has a proud tradition of developing talent that rises through the ranks and represents Marion at every level.
