Members of the Olympic High School Trojan Marching Band are gearing up to compete in the Carolina Indoor Performance Association championships April 6 and 7 at Western Carolina University.
The Winterguard and indoor percussion groups are competing, and James Smallwood, the band director, said in a release that Olympic has been the only Charlotte-Mecklenburg school since 2007 to have those two successful programs.
"Students learn leadership, team building and time management skills making them not only good students at OHS, but also increasing the likelihood for success in college and beyond," he wrote.
The groups have been practicing every Monday, and the public is invited to listen to them perform from 4 p.m. to 8 p.m. March 25 at Olympic.
