The group consists of approximately 210 students (winds, percussion, color guard, and 4 field commanders).

The band has competed in the Ohio Music Education Association's State Marching Band Competition for 26 of the past 27 years, earning the state's highest honor, a Superior rating, for 20 consecutive years.
