Welcome to the Academy Eagles Marching Band, a vibrant collaboration between B.E.S.T Academy and Coretta Scott King Young Women's Leadership Academy. Our band stands as a beacon of excellence in performing arts and music education, dedicated to nurturing each member's musical talents and artistic expression.
Beyond musical growth, our program emphasizes essential life skills such as teamwork, sportsmanship, civic pride, and the value of collective achievement. Students develop self-reliance and a positive self-image, bolstering their self-esteem through our unique blend of musical and athletic endeavors.
At the heart of our philosophy is a commitment to fostering a positive attitude and strong work ethic among our scholars. We prioritize dedication and perseverance, valuing these qualities alongside musical talent in every rehearsal and performance. Our program enriches the music education students receive during school hours, complementing academic achievement with enriching extracurricular experiences.
Join us at the Academy Eagles Marching Band, where we uphold a culture of high expectations and strive for excellence in every endeavor. Together, we create an environment where students flourish academically and artistically, preparing them for success both on and off the field.
After every game, all scholars will receive a meal to refuel and celebrate their hard work. The meal location or vendor will vary each week based on the time and location of the game. Click here to order your scholars meal.
