My Students
Our high school marching band is a vibrant, enthusiastic group of students who love their band program and school! We work hard to achieve excellence which begins with summer camp in July.
Students may participate in concert band, symphonic band, as well as the Georgia Music Educators Association Small and Large Group Performance Evaluations.
Our marching band program is an integral part of the overall program.
One hundred percent of funding for our programs comes from band dues, fundraising and donations. It is extremely important that we are there for our students when they are in need. Music is our passion and will be with us for the rest of our lives.
My Project
The drum major of a marching band has the honor of holding one of the most important positions. They are the leader and everyone looks up to him or her for inspiration and guidance. A new podium will allow us to provide the best opportunity for our students and will enable smooth set up and take down during games and marching band competitions.
This is a larger podium that we currently have which will allow for more than one drum major to practice at the same time.
It will also give our aspiring drum majors a platform to train together with our experienced drum majors.
More than three‑quarters of students from low‑income households
Data about students' economic need comes from the National Center for Education Statistics, via our partners at MDR Education. Learn more
