The Black & Teal Brigade Marching Band
The Black & Teal Brigade is Sultana High School's premiere performing group. This group of 60+ students rehearse countless hours throughout the summer and school year, and travel all across Southern California competing in California State Band Championships (CSBC)-sponsored field tournaments. In addition, they can be seen at all Sultana home football games and pep rallies, as well as throughout the High Desert community.
The Black & Teal Brigade competes across Southern California in the CSBC circuit. They are a 7-time consecutive CSBC finalist, are the 2014 and 2015 Division 2A Champions, and the 2019 Grand Championships Silver Medalists. The fall color guard has won the High Color Guard caption award at championships an impressive 6 consecutive times, every year since 2014.

The Black & Teal Brigade is one of the most active and visible groups on campus, appearing at many major school events year-round. The band appears in various parades, home football games, as well as Saturday field tournaments throughout the fall season. For a full schedule, please visit the Calendar.
Rehearsals are held after school on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays from 3:30pm-6pm, as well as one Saturday camp each month from August-October. Before our after school rehearsals, we have our pre-rehearsal 'study hall' time from 2:30-3:30, a quiet hour that students can use to work on homework, go to tutoring, make up a test, or otherwise use to maintain high academic standards. NOTE: On some Wednesdays, the percussion and/or color guard sections may have their rehearsals moved to the evening, from 5pm-8:30pm. This will be disclosed in advance. |
