The Ovey Comeaux High School Band has had long standing tradition of greatness. Our history is filled with amazing performances such as:

4 time Bands of America Regional finalist
NAI Grand Nationals

What we can be most proud of as a program is that almost every student that has ever left the program and decided to play in college has received a scholarship to do so. Even those not majoring in music have opportunities to play in college marching band, pep band, or concert band, and receive some type of music scholarship while pursuing their major in something else.
