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 student leaders include Drum Major Korey Trozzi, Color Guard Captain Gabriela Alvarado, Hornline Captain Drew Patterson, Percussion Captain Daniel Luna Acha, and section leaders Cody Gaskell, Albert Vargas, Mayra Villela-Santana, Angel Guzman, David Ajtun, Jordan Atwood, and Avery Mikkelson.
The Black & Teal Brigade competes across Southern California in the CSBC circuit as a 2019 Division 3A unit. They are a 6-time consecutive CSBC finalist, and are the 2014 and 2015 Division 2A Champions. The fall color guard has won the High Color Guard caption award at championships an impressive 5 consecutive times, 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 a 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. Students must submit a 'pink slip' if they plan to be somewhere other than in the Band Room for that hour. 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. |
