Bands and Marching Unit
Led by Barry Enzman, Glenelg's Marching Unit and Jazz and Symphonic Bands have earned superior ratings in all competitions for 35 years to date. Such competitions include annual and biannual competitions across the East Coast and in Europe. In March 2011, the symphonic band broke its own Howard County record by receiving all superior ratings from all 4 judges in the District 8 adjudication. The band was selected to march in the 1984 Presidential Inauguration Parade, but the parade was cancelled due to severe cold weather. Volunteers from the Symphonic Band regularly fill out Glenelg's Orchestra, Pit Band, and provide accompaniment for the chorus and madrigals during performances. Members of the band have appeared at televised It's Academic competitions to show support for Glenelg's team.
The Silks Squad is led by Diane Bissell-Hodges. The Drill Team is led by Terry Newsome.

Famous quotes containing the words bands, marching and/or unit:
“Nearly all the bands are mustered out of service; ours therefore is a novelty. We marched a few miles yesterday on a road where troops have not before marched. It was funny to see the children. I saw our boys running after the music in many a group of clean, bright-looking, excited little fellows.”
—Rutherford Birchard Hayes (1822–1893)
“The Saints come,
as human as a mouth,
with a bag of God in their backs,
like a hunchback,
they come,
they come marching in.”
—Anne Sexton (1928–1974)
“During the Suffragette revolt of 1913 I ... [urged] that what was needed was not the vote, but a constitutional amendment enacting that all representative bodies shall consist of women and men in equal numbers, whether elected or nominated or coopted or registered or picked up in the street like a coroner’s jury. In the case of elected bodies the only way of effecting this is by the Coupled Vote. The representative unit must not be a man or a woman but a man and a woman.”
—George Bernard Shaw (1856–1950)
