Peachtree Ridge High School
"Watching our students and Pearl Harbor survivor enter the memorial was a memory I will never forget, my students were equally moved. It was an extreme thrill to perform at the USS Battleship Missouri and in the Waikiki Holiday Parade - the most exciting parade in which I have been involved. Thank you for your hard work that made our band's trip to Hawaii such a success."
Eric Willoughby, Director of Bands (former)

We're ready to help make the most of your trip to the Rose Bowl.
INTERNATIONAL BOWL GAMES
Bowl Games in foreign countries generate the same enthusiastic crowds as in the U.S. For many, the only ingredient missing to complete this "American football experience" has been American bands.
