All instrumentalists must enroll in band as a course to participate. Auxiliary, however, should only enroll if they plan to participate in concert band as well. The AGHS marching band performs at each varsity football game, and at the Laurel Highlands band festival. In addition to performing the field show, the Colonial marching band marches in multiple parades throughout the year.
