PHSN Band History

​The Pickerington High School North Band program was formed in 2003 and now has over 200 wind, percussion, and color guard students participating in its performing groups.  These ensembles include our Symphonic Band, Concert Band I & Concert Band II, Marching Band, Jazz Bands, Orchestra, Winter Guard and Percussion Ensembles.  The PHSN Music Department strives to provide students with the opportunity to learn and achieve excellence through performance in music ensembles.

The Pickerington High School North Marching Band
is in its seventeenth season, and competes both regionally in the the Ohio Music Education Association (OMEA) adjudication circuit, and nationally in the Bands of America (BOA) adjudication circuit.  Students from the PHSNMB have participated in the 2003 New York City Veterans Day Parade, the 2006 & 2019 Tournament of Roses Parades, the 2007 & 2013 Fiesta Bowl Parade & National Band Championship.  The PHSNMB also won the 2005 Festival Disney National Championship in the parade marching category and the Grand Champion award at the 2013 Fiesta Bowl Parade.  The PHSNMB hopes to continue the tradition of excellence that has been the hallmark of our band programs in Pickerington.  Go Panthers!
