Fundamentals in music and marching execution are emphasized, as the students work together towards the common goal of performing at their highest level of musical achievement. The Student Leadership Team, which consists of Drum Majors, Section Leaders, and Color Guard Captains is selected through an audition process in the spring. Band camps are held during the summer, and rehearsals begin at 7:45AM during the school year.
