So you are thinking about joining the Band and Color Guard…

The transition from middle school to high school is easier for band and color guard students.  Imagine attending a new school and not knowing anything about where to go, or who to talk to.  Students joining the South Hills High School Band & Color Guard will start their first day of high school with a large group of friends who will help them through those often frightening first day in their new school environment.  Incoming freshman will have immediate contact with upperclassmen; in a Big brother/Big sister kind of way.  High School Band and Color Guard is very healthy for students in multitude of ways.

Because the band and color guard is unlikely anything you have done before, it can greatly enhance your high school career, and it is, very simply a great experience.

The South Hills High School Band & Color Guard is being recognized not only for creating its high standards, but also for the quality of experience given to its members.  As you participate in the program and continue to grow, this will become more clear to you, as it has to students before you. The pride and sense of friendship that are the cornerstones of our band will figure profoundly in your future.
