About the Lion Band:

Walkersville High School's marching band has developed a reputation for excellence since its inception. It is currently under the direction of Windy Neal with the assistance of many other staff members (see instructors).

The Marching Lions are currently involved in Tournament of Bands competition in Chapter 5 and have been since 2000 (for more information on TOB, click here.) Prior to 2000, the Lions competed in Chapter 13. They also play a pregame show and perform at half-time for all home football games.

The Lion Marching Band was the TOB Chapter 13 Champions for 1994 and 1996-1997 and the Chapter 5 Champions in 2002 and 2004-2005. The band has performed at the Atlantic Coast Championships (ACCs) in 1985, 1994, 1996-2002, and 2004-2005.

The highest score ever obtained by the WHS Marching Lion Band at the Atlantic Coast Championships was 7th place with a score of 93.05 in 2006.

The lowest score on record by the WHS Band was 35.80 at a competition at Frederick HS in Frederick, MD on October 1st, 1983. The band was a group 1 that year, and they finished the season at Chapters with a 46.85. This score was obviously obtained before the minimum score was changed to a 60.
