Wolverine Winter Premiere!
Deer Valley High School • Antioch, CA
Where tradition meets innovation
and music becomes legacy.
Founded in 1996, the Deer Valley High School band program has been a proud and powerful voice in our school and community for three decades. Under the leadership of founding director Larry Widener, the program built a lasting legacy of excellence in performance, discipline, and school spirit.
In 2023, the program entered a bold new era under the direction of Ryan Carr, with a renewed focus on student leadership, creativity, and inclusion. In 2024, we introduced a new identity, The Teal & Black Regiment, a name that proudly reflects the heart, strength, and unity of all our performers.

BE A PART OF SOMETHING AMAZING
Our ensembles do more than perform, they represent. We proudly take the field at football games, bring the energy to school rallies, support campus celebrations, and perform throughout community events across Antioch. We also compete in NCBA band reviews, winter guard competitions, and indoor percussion circuits, showcasing our talents at the highest levels.
Every student in the Teal & Black Regiment is part of something greater:
a team, a tradition, and a musical family built on pride, purpose, and passion.
Traveling with the Regiment means new places, new experiences, and unforgettable memories. We played at Thrive City and plan to compete in San Diego this year!
Our program succeeds because it’s a true community effort. Students, parents, and boosters all have a role in supporting and growing the Regiment. There’s a place for everyone in the Teal & Black family.
In band, friendships are made and life skills are built every day. Teamwork, leadership, and confidence grow alongside musical talent. The Teal & Black Regiment is more than a band, it’s a family.
Whether on the field or the stage,
We Perform. We Compete. We Lead. We Uplift.
Welcome to
the Teal & Black Regiment.
Louder Together. Stronger Together.
