Upcoming...

A great new year is upon us for the Roaring Bengals.  There is NO marching band pre-season camp this year, but we hope to see you at volunteer days, the car wash, and the first day of school.  Contact Mr. Damron if you have any questions.

It is our pleasure to welcome you to the highest profile performing ensemble of Blake High School.  The Roaring Bengals Marching Band and Bengal Guard have a rich history of outstanding performances, and has quickly become one of the largest and finest marching units in the DC Metro area.

In the past, our band has been honored by participating in the 71st Annual Nokia Sugar Bowl in New Orleans, the National Cherry Blossom Festival Parade, Walt Disney World, the New York St. Patrick’s Day Parade, the NATO Parade of Nations in Virginia Beach, and the 62nd Annual Konica Minolta Gator Bowl in Jacksonville, Florida.  Every performance has brought great credit to our school, and I am positive we will continue in the years to come.
