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!
Tomorrow, Monday, Jan. 26, will be an at-home learning day out of an abundance of caution due to freezing temperatures and the potential for icy roads. Our district At-Home Learning Guide is linked below, and teachers will provide further instructions regarding at-home work. We will continue to keep you posted on any updates to our schedule. Please stay safe, and we plan to see students back on campus on Tuesday, Jan. 27. https://bit.ly/CCS-AHLguide
