Members of the Trojan Guard Marching Band performed in the National Band Association's "All-Star Marching Band" for the Indianapolis 500 Festival Parade this past weekend!

Since the late 90's, the National Band Association has asked Indiana high schools to nominate their finest woodwind, brass, and color guard performers in an effort to represent as much of the state as possible. However, only one drumline is selected each year through a competitive application process. After a very strong Trojan Guard season this fall, the Chesterton HS drumline was chosen this year!

Additionally, 5 color guard members and 3 wind players were also chosen to represent Chesterton High School . Congratulations to all Trojan Guard members selected to perform!

Three cheers for our CHS students! Their hard work and talent has earned them a recognition only 15 other schools in the state can claim, the ISSMA TOTAL DEPARTMENT ALL-MUSIC AWARD!

The Chesterton High School Bands, Choirs, & Orchestras each competed in multiple events (marching, solos, jazz, large ensembles) to showcase a well-rounded music education. This also means at EVERY ISSMA competition the students participated in, they excelled! Congratulations!
