It is our belief that the activity known as marching band changes lives. It is our intention to create a world class marching band that will instill a high level of needed skills to assist young people with the preparation for their adult life.

Academic Support

We strive towards the goal of having 100 percent of our students pass every class. We take this initiative very seriously. Through our peer tutoring and study hall programs we provide students with a quiet focused atmosphere to work in and assistance with understanding and completing their assignments. Students also receive test preparation and study tips. In addition to our academic programs we believe that constant conversation about academics and exposure to institutions of higher learning help keep education in the forefront of every member's mind.

Character Development

Unfortunately, a lot of the norms in our community do not lead our young people to a greater world understanding. Our members will be introduced to the larger world that they have to encounter and learn how to deal with. We believe that in order to be confident and secure, members need to be exposed to behaviors that are appropriate in the greater world. We provide focused discussion sessions and also use outside resources to give workshops/lectures around topics of importance. Members are able to learn new ideals as well as express themselves in a safe, guided atmosphere. Integrity and hard work are essential traits that we work to develop and reinforce in our members.

Skills Building
Marching band is an art. The skills needed to read and play music while marching, performing drills and executing choreography lead to the development of other vital skills such as discipline, focus, teamwork and leadership. We work diligently on strengthening the leadership and partnership capabilities in our members in order to make sure that when they venture into the world they are fully comfortable with taking those roles. In our history, many of our members have testified that skills they learned in band have helped them tremendously in every area of their adult lives.

Performance Opportunities
When members earn the right to perform through their academic achievements, displaying strong character and development in their musical skills, they will have an opportunity to show all they have learned in front of huge audiences and mostly importantly in front of their friends and families. Our members have the opportunity to perform at the largest entertainment venues, exclusive private events and the most anticipated gatherings and celebrations but most importantly they have the chance to build the memories of a lifetime.
