Band
The Bellbrook band program has been very successful bringing home numerous Bands Of America (BOA) regional and national titles. They were national champions in class A 1994, 1995, 1998, 1999, 2000, 2001 and were class AA champions in 2004. Also in 2000 they were the only class A band to compete in the finals event. Every year the Bellbrook Marching Eagles make at least two trips to BOA regional’s throughout the United States and then they end the year with a big trip to Indianapolis, Indiana for BOA Grand Nationals. The Marching Eagles have about 115 kids in the marching program and march a wide variety of instruments, as well as having a front ensemble and color guard to help convey the music to the large audiences. The band usually finishes in the top 35 marching bands in the country and always has a very good impression about them when they are referred to in marching band circles throughout the country.

Famous quotes containing the word band:
“What passes for identity in America is a series of myths about one’s heroic ancestors. It’s astounding to me, for example, that so many people really seem to believe that the country was founded by a band of heroes who wanted to be free. That happens not to be true. What happened was that some people left Europe because they couldn’t stay there any longer and had to go someplace else to make it. They were hungry, they were poor, they were convicts.”
—James Baldwin (1924–1987)
“Firm, united, let us be,
Rallying round our Liberty;
As a band of brothers joined,
Peace and safety we shall find.”
—Joseph Hopkinson (1770–1842)
“There was a young lady called Gloria
Who was had by Sir Gerald Du Maurier
And then by six men
And Sir Gerald again
And the band of the Waldorf-Astoria.”
—Anonymous.
