About the Beckman High School Patriot Marching Band PDF Print E-mail

 



 

The 150-member Beckman High School Patriot Marching Band was formed in 2004 under the direction of Jim Kollias. Since its inception, the group has grown in numbers and stature, earning the group a reputation of excellence in musicianship. The group earned a 1st Place finish in its very first parade and has never looked back; earning 1st place finishes in 10 of the first 11 they competed in. The band has competed in the Tustin Tiller Days Parade, MLK Parade in San Diego, the Whittier Christmas Parade, and Los Angeles County Fair. Also of note, the band has performed with the UCLA Marching Band in the Rose Bowl (2007, 2005, 2004), the USC Marching Band in the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum (2004) and marched in parade at Disneyland (2006-2008). In April 2008, the Patriot Marching Band earned an invitation to perform at the 2008 National Cherry Blossom Festival Parade in Washington D.C. appearing on regional TV and also performed at the World War II and Jefferson Memorials. On New Year’s Eve in 2008, the band appeared on MTV’s “A Miley Sized Surprise” which honored Beckman HS student Alison Kaprellian.

During the school year, the marching band rehearses daily for an hour and performs for Beckman High School home football games, for various student body events, and honors community Veterans with an annual Veterans Day Concert.  The Varsity Band, made up of selected members of the Marching Band, performs at various Beckman High School boys and girls varsity sporting events (which have included water polo, basketball, and baseball games).
