Under the main direction of Mr. Brett Dawson, we’re an enthusiastic group of high school musicians and guard members. We practice and perform our craft in multiple ensembles throughout the school year. Come see us at our various Marching Band Performances, Winter Guard Performances, and Concerts!!!
