Page "Charlotte, Michigan" Paragraph 17

For almost 100 years the Charlotte High School Marching Band has been a major cultural icon for the city of Charlotte.

What began as the dream of six Charlotte students in the early 1920s has exploded into a powerhouse music program of hundreds of 6th – 12th grade students.

The High School Marching Band participated in the Holland Tulip Time Festival Band Revue from 1937 – 1991 ( when Holland officials discontinued the Band Review ) receiving their 50th First Division rating in 1989.

The band has traveled to: Mexico, Edmonton, Chicago, Washington, D. C., Florida, Atlanta, St. Louis, Missouri, Chattanooga, Tennessee, Gatlinburg, Tennessee, and Virginia Beach.
