One of the most well known high school bands in the country and steeped in rich tradition, the Viking Band continually performs fun and exciting music featuring exceptional guard, percussion, majorette and dance units.

Under the direction of J. Craig Cantrell, the East Hall Bands routinely receive superior ratings in marching contests and music festivals. In addition, the Viking Marching Band has performed in numerous nationally televised parades and events. Very few high school bands have amassed such an impressive array of honors and performances throughout the country.

CONGRATULATIONS!!!

The Viking Marching Band traveled to the Armuchee Invitational Marching Band Competition in Rome, GA to perform for a group of distinguished judges from the Georgia Music Educators Association.  The band competed in AAAAA (yes, 5A) classification   I am very proud to report to you that our band came home with 13 large trophies.  The band received 6 level 1 (superior, highest ranking) trophies during the awards ceremony for their performance and was awarded 2^nd place Drum Major, 1^st place Majorette, 2^nd place Color Guard, 2^nd place Percussion, and 3^rd place Band.  We were one of only 5 bands competing to receive “Straight Superior Ratings” in every category.  This triumph sets us up perfectly going into the Georgia Bandmasters Championship in a couple of weeks (Oct. 24^th).

This superb accomplishment is remarkable, especially considering that we’re competing against schools with a much larger population (AAAAA) and more funding and resources.  The students who are in the Viking Band put a lot of extra practice time in and work hard to represent our school and community.  They take pride in their performance and have earned the reputation of being one of the very best.

We attribute the success of the program to the dedication of thousands of students, parents, and supporters, both past and present, who guide the band on their journey of excellence.
