MARCHING BAND

The Marching Band is the most visible, and arguably the most important unit of the band program in that it creates a positive and effective image for the community to see. The band is largely "corps-style", which means that it moderately follows the trend of the drum and bugle corps (DCI). Performances include entertainment in the form of stands tunes and half-time shows at football games. What most people don't know about the marching band is that it participates in state-wide marching band contests throughout the fall semester. For the past three years, the Pride has placed among the top twelve at Louisiana Showcase of Marching Bands, which is the competition with the highest acclaim in Louisiana.
