About the Pride of Parrish Marching Band and Color Guard

The Parrish Community High School marching band and color guard has been a state-ranked competitive marching band program since the school’s founding in 2019. It is one of the largest organizations at PCHS, with nearly 100 members.

Students in the marching band and color guard are among the most talented and active at the school and participate in numerous clubs and service organizations on campus. The Pride of Parrish comprises class officers, yearbook editors, National Honor Society members, athletes from softball players to wrestlers, and Student Government Association members.

Members of PCHS band programs take pride in hard work and excellence.

The Pride of Parrish has performed across Manatee County and throughout Florida, and our marching band, jazz bands, concert bands, and solo and ensemble groups have all earned district Superior ratings and high honors at FBA, FFCC and FMBC festivals.
