[edit] Hart RegimentThe Hart Regiment is a marching band headed by band director Anthony H. Bailey for the last seven years, during which they have won seven straight SCSBOA championships (in 2002, 2003, 2004, 2005, 2006, 2007, and, 2008). The Regiment consists of a front percussion ensemble, marching winds, color guard, and drumline. In the Spring Semester of 2006, the award winning Wind Ensemble was specially invited to perform at Carnegie Hall, a world renowned concert venue in Midtown Manhattan, New York. In August 2006, the winds and drumline recorded original marching band music by composer Rob Walker (ASCAP) for the NBC series Friday Night Lights. In the Fall Semester of 2007 the Hart Regiment Marching Band went to the Bands of America Grand Nationals. The competition took place in the RCA Dome in Indianapolis, Indiana on November 14 through 17 of 2007. In the Spring Semester of 2009, the award winning Wind Ensemble was cordially invited to perform at The John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts, otherwise known as The Kennedy Center. Located on the Potomac River, adjacent to the Watergate complex in Washington, D.C., it is "the national center for performing arts" and also the nation's busiest performing arts facility. The Hart Wind Ensemble went on to receive the Gold Award, the highest award presented to any performing school at the event. Also while in D.C. the Wind Ensemble performed an outdoor, public concert in front of the Thomas Jefferson Memorial. The trip was held April 23rd-28th, 2009. [edit] Spring Instrumental EnsemblesIn the spring, the instrumental students separate into different ensemble groups. The Wind Ensemble is the higher of the two full ensembles which students must audition for. Because of the small size of the wind ensemble, the remaining students perform in the Concert Band. Students in percussion may also participate in the indoor drumline group, which performs shows with a front ensemble and a marching drumline. The Jazz Band is an extracurricular activity in the fall, and an audition group in the spring. In February, 2007, the Wind Ensemble was one of two high school bands in the state of California to perform at the California Band Director's Association's 50th anniversary conference in Fresno, California.[citation needed] Groups were chosen by audition using live recordings of the previous year's musicians. March 2005, they performed at Carnegie Hall in New York. In April 2009 they performed at Washington D.C.'s Kennedy Center. March 2007 brought the group's second trip to the Bands of America National Concert Band Festival in Indianapolis, Indiana (the other first being in 2003). It performed in Clowes Hall at Butler University on March 16 as part of this event. The following pieces were played:
