  Kiski Area Bands

The Kiski Area Marching Band

       The Kiski Area High School Marching Band is a nationally acclaimed group who has built a reputation for excellence.  The marching band is comprised of students grades 9-12.  This ensemble provides a culture which all band students can belong.  It is a place where they learn values and standards, where they can learn to depend on one another in their pursuit of excellence. They learn about responsibility, integrity, and working towards a common goal. They learn to value people, respect their peers and not make judgments on the superficial. They frequently acquire a stronger base for their adult life than any other avenue open to them.   
     The Marching Band performs the half time program at all home football games and select away games.  In addition to supporting our high school football program, this group competes locally and nationally in a various arenas.  Such arenas include the local PIMBA (Pennsylvania Interscholastic Marching Band Association) competitions and regional and national BOA (Bands of America) competitions.  This particular ensemble is one of the most accomplished marching bands in the state of Pennsylvania and has been crowned a two-time Bands of America National Class Champion.  Accomplishments include:
  • Two-time Bands of America Class "AA" National Champion
  • 19-time Bands of America Regional Grand Champion
  • 39-time  Bands of America Regional Class "AA" Champion
  • Eight-time Bands of America Grand National Finalist
  • Fourteen-time P.F.C.J./PIMBA Champion
