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:
“According to the historian, they escaped as by a miracle all roving bands of Indians, and reached their homes in safety, with their trophies, for which the General Court paid them fifty pounds. The family of Hannah Dustan all assembled alive once more, except the infant whose brains were dashed out against the apple tree, and there have been many who in later time have lived to say that they have eaten of the fruit of that apple tree.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“John Brown’s body lies a-moldering in the grave,
His soul is marching on.”
—Thomas Brigham Bishop (1835–1905)
“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)
