About |
The Edison High school "Marching Eagles," comprised of band, colorguard, and percussion students from across the school community, has a proud tradition of excellence and achievement. The band is recognized as one of the finest marching programs of its size on the east coast.
The Marching Eagles are the 8 time TOB Chapter 12, Group II Champions, and have received 5 bronze and 2 silver medals at the TOB Atlantic Coast Championships. In 2006, the Marching Eagles switch to the USSBA circuit. In addition to being undefeated is USSBA (A) competition, they are the 2006 Mid-Atlantic States and All-States Group 3A Champions. Locally, the band performs at all home Edison football games, and in selected exhibitions throughout Virginia. Many of the student musicians within the band have received individual honors at the local, regional, state, and national level. In 2004 the band was recognized by the Fairfax County Board of Supervisors for excellence in musical performance. The Marching Eagles has been featured on the Fox 5 morning news, and has appeared twice on Fairfax County Public Schools Red Apple 21.
Marching season is coming soon!. See the pre-season page for information on the 2008 Marching eagles schedule and information. Also, signup lists for 2008-2009 committees are up as well as lists for Chaperones and Pit Crew for the 2008 Marching season. There is also a now a signup for Pep Band chaperones. Current parents have received an email with password for access. If you are a new parent, please email the President for an access code. A brief document on USSBA for Edison parents was created by Debby Lelansky for the 2007 season.
This year the band is trying to do as much as possible via electronic means. Email and this web site will be the primary means of communication. The hope is that the information, particularly changes, can be distributed more quickly and not left sitting in the Band Room. It is also better for the environment.
