Most notably, the SMHS Marching Matadors, led by band director Jason See, recently finished the 2008 competitive marching season with a Superior with Distinction, the highest rating attainable in the ABODA Marching Circuit. The Matadors performance of their show "Music for a Darkened Theater: The music of Danny Elfman" received captions in Visual Performance, Music Performance, General Effect, Percussion, and Music General Effect. While only their first season in Division 2, this recent win puts the SMHS Marching Matadors at the top of their competitive class for the third consecutive season. Staff includes Anna Rodriguez, color guard caption head, and Spencer Hawley percussion caption head.
