Another Outstanding Competition Performance!

The Trojan Band delivered another unforgettable week of performances! 🎉 At Saturday’s competition, we earned 2nd in Class AAAAA and Overall in Band & Drum Majors, and 1st in Class AAAAA and Overall in Colorguard & Percussion — with only .66 points separating us from 1st. While judges’ opinions differ, what truly matters is the energy you shared, the memories you created, and the pride you brought to Carrollton.

This week also included a powerful performance at the Carroll County Marching Exhibition, a road trip to Westlake HS where we cheered on our 7–0 Trojan Football Team, and the incredible support of our parents who make it all possible. Now, we turn our focus to Homecoming Week — pep rallies, parade, football, alumni, and plenty of Trojan spirit — before heading into Legacy of Champions!
