Argonaut Marching Band
The Garden Grove High School Argonaut Marching Band is an award-winning group consisting of wind players (woodwinds and brass), percussionists (marching percussion and front ensemble), and color guard (flags, rifles, sabres, props, and dancers). Wind players are grouped into 3rd period, and percussionists and color guard are grouped into 5th period. In the Fall, Marching Band offers one semester of PE credit. In the Spring, this class converts into Symphonic Band.
For the Fall 2023 season, the Argonaut Marching Band will compete in the California State Band Championships (CSBC) circuit in the 3A division.
