Our student musicians have shown the talent and commitment to earn and maintain an outstanding reputation as they “Strive for Excellence” in each performance.The Central-Carroll Band Program has a long tradition of excellence. The Central Carroll Symphonic Band has earned nothing less than superior ratings at any Georgia Music Educator’s event for ten consecutive years. Several students from Central – Carroll H.S. are selected each year to the GMEA District Seven Honor Band and GMEA All-State Band, the most from any school in Carroll County for consecutive years. The Central band program is also proud to have had representatives selected to perform in the, Brevard Music Camp, Julliard Music Camp, Atlanta Youth Symphony, Metropolitan Atlanta Youth Wind Ensemble, and the Georgia Governor’s Honor’s Program. The Central-Carroll Marching Pride is one of the most recognized band programs in the United States, earning over 300
superior ratings, 175 class placement awards, and 23 Grand Championships in the past 12 years. The Central – Carroll
High School Bands have received letters of commendations from both Governor Sonny Purdue and Governor Roy Barnes
and two resolutions from the Georgia State House of Legislature. The Marching Pride was recently presented with the
prestigious Certificate of Merit for Marching Excellence from the National Band Association. The Central-Carroll Indoor
Winter Guard was the 2010 Bronze Medalist in the SAPA Circuit Championships.
