Marching Band

The A Class Champion 2006 Croatan Marching Band in competition at the BOA Regional Championship in Towson, MD.

The Marching Cougars began a three-year streak of winning first place in their class, sweeping first place awards in all captions at every marching band competition they attended in the fall of 2005. In only their seventh year of existence, the Croatan Marching Band made their debut appearance at the St. Petersburg, Florida Bands of America Regional Championship and were crowned A class champion, winning best overall music performance, best general effect, and best overall visual performance – a first for any band program in North Carolina! The 2004 Croatan Marching Band not only garnered the same distinction at the Piscataway, NJ Regional Championships last fall, but also earned a place in the top ten Finals competition, placing eighth overall! In their first-ever appearance at Bands of America Gand National Championships in 2005, the Croatan Marching Band was named a national semi-finalist. They placed third in the A class, just 0.35 points behind the reigning A class champions. The marching band continues to be an innovative force in the state, venturing further into the regional and national spotlight each year. more...
