The Carrollton High School Trojan Band, one of the oldest band programs in the state, was founded in 1948 by Mr. John Dilliard. Under the leadership of only a handful of directors since, the band's success has been legendary and continues to thrive. In 2013, the band completed its marching season by earning all Superior ratings at local contests for the 41st consecutive year, a feat matched by no other high school band program in Georgia. While the band has had the honor to perform at many state, national and even international events over its history, its favorite venue is still Grisham Stadium, performing for the home crowd on a Friday night!
Last week was busy and successful for the band, featuring a rehearsal, performances at LGPE, and participation in GMEA All-State. Upcoming events include Universal Band rehearsals and LGPE performances, along with a Winter Guard event. Additionally, the band BBQ is planned for April 30, with soda donations requested.
We start Universal rehearsals this week. Congratulations to our Winter Guard for another outstanding performance and to Haley Rowell and Yael Ramirez for representing us at Mercer’s Honor Band this weekend. The Black History Month assembly was very successful! In addition to the Wind Ensemble performances Momar Diack and Max Mitchell had the opportunity to perform with Señor Marti in a traditional drumming performance. This week is our PreLGPE concert, Berry College Invitational, and Winter Guard performance on Saturday at Armuchee HS. Onward and Upward We Hustle! Go Trojans!
As students return from break, excitement builds for a busy school year ahead, filled with memorable events. This week features Winter Guard rehearsals, Black History Month Assembly, and more. Students preparing for upcoming concerts and competitions are encouraged to volunteer and support fundraising efforts, particularly for the Band BBQ scheduled for April 30.
The Winter Guard excelled at the SAPA show and is improving weekly, with their next performance on February 28. The community is encouraged to donate sodas for the Band BBQ on April 30 to support students. Additionally, volunteers are needed for uniform organization on February 24 and upcoming events are scheduled throughout March and April.
Congratulations on the outstanding performances by our students at the Kiwanis Showcase on Sunday night! Also, BRAVO to the students who represented us with class and professionalism at DHB this past weekend! Your performances were exceptionally! Come support the WinterGuard this Saturday at Villa Rica HS!
