Marching Band  

2006-07 Band and Color Guard

    
  The marching band is the primary ensemble of the Martin Luther King High School Kingsmen program. The 2006-07 edition of the marching band consists of 160 musicians and Color Guard members.

The marching band performs at all home and away football games and large-scale events. The marching band also competes in parades and field show tournaments. Members of the marching band are required to attend a two week band camp in August and enroll in the Marching Band/P.E. course.

The Kingsmen marching band has achieved much success in a short amount of time.  In 2006 the Kingsmen were honored to be selected to perform in the Tournament of Roses Parade 2007 in Pasadena.  In addition to these high profile perform-ances, the marching band frequently entertains the greater Riverside community.

  

Charles J. Gray, Director of Bands

Congratulations Kingsmen!
