Band
DeLand's band, The Marching Bulldogs, has gained recognition over the last five years, visiting the Georgia Peach Bowl and the Florida Bandmasters Association State Concert Festival three times, where they received the highest possible ratings twice. In the 2007-08 school year, the band returned to the State Concert Festival, receiving superior ratings from all judges. In the 2007-2008 season the band was invited to the annual College Band Directors National Association convention in Georgia. The band continues its tradition of receiving superior ratings at MPAs. Daniel Cook is currently the Director of Bands at DeLand.

Famous quotes containing the word band:
“And the heavy night hung dark
The hills and waters o’er,
When a band of exiles moored their bark
On the wild New England shore.”
—Felicia Dorothea Hemans (1783–1835)
“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)
“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.”
