Horizon Pride Regiment
Marching Band & Color Guard
The Horizon Pride Regiment (HPR) is our award-winning marching band program. Marching band is a class at Horizon, but it is held in the evening so it doesn’t take up one of the student’s class slots. To participate in marching band, students are required to register for one of the other instrumental performance ensemble classes (symphonic band, percussion ensemble, string orchestra), too.
Color Guard is part of marching band, but does not require registration in one of the other music classes (however, some Color Guard members do choose to also enroll in band class and play an instrument).
