Marching Band
Comprised of students in grades 9 – 12, the Pearl City High School “Charger” Marching Band & Color Guard offers students a breadth of opportunities that are available in only the best music programs. The Charger Marching Band combines the Symphonic Winds, Symphonic Band and Concert Band during the fall semester. The Charger Marching Band has received numerous awards and accolades over the years and most recently made its debut in the 2008-2009 marching season competitions with its strongest performance of the year! Performances by the band are noted for excitement, energy and entertainment.
Students enrolled in the marching band are encouraged to exercise teamwork, organization, responsibility, commitment, pride and excellence with honor as they learn how to work together to achieve their common goal. 

"Desire is the key to motivation, but it's the determination and commitment to an unrelenting pursuit of your goal - a commitment to excellence - that will enable you to attain the success you seek." Mario Andretti
