The Showband of the South inspires students to grow as musicians, leaders, and teammates, on and off the field.
The Showband of the South is Tate High School’s marching band, combining musicians from all concert and jazz ensembles into one powerful, high‑impact performance group. Students bring their skills to the field, grow as performers, and experience the excitement of marching band at games, competitions, and community events.
The Wind Ensemble is our premier performing group, featuring students who demonstrate advanced musicianship, strong technique, and a high level of commitment. This ensemble performs challenging literature and represents the program at the highest level.
The Symphonic Band is a strong, well‑rounded ensemble for students who are continuing to grow their skills and musicianship. Members build confidence, refine technique, and prepare for more advanced performance opportunities.
The Concert Band provides a supportive environment for developing musicians. Students strengthen fundamentals, gain ensemble experience, and build the skills needed for future advancement within the program.
Our jazz program includes two performing groups that give students the opportunity to explore style, improvisation, and ensemble playing. Jazz 1 is our premier ensemble, featuring students who demonstrate advanced musicianship and perform at concerts, festivals, and community events. Jazz 2 provides a supportive environment for developing players to strengthen fundamentals, build confidence, and prepare for future advanced jazz opportunities.
Percussion students participate fully within their concert and marching ensembles while receiving focused instruction on battery and front‑ensemble skills. Those interested can also join Indoor Percussion, a competitive performance ensemble that blends music, movement, and theatrical design. Indoor Percussion competes in local and regional circuits, giving students the opportunity to develop advanced technique, teamwork, and showmanship in a high‑energy, supportive environment.
Color Guard brings the visual artistry of the Showband of the South to life during marching season through dance, equipment work, and expressive performance at football games, competitions, and community events. Students may also participate in Winter Guard, a competitive indoor ensemble that combines choreography, equipment skills, and theatrical design. Winter Guard competes in local and regional circuits, offering students a creative, confidence‑building performance experience.
From the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade to the Tournament of Roses Parade, the Showband of the South has represented Tate High School on some of the most iconic stages in marching band history. Our students continue a tradition of excellence that spans generations.
