The marching band was first formed in 1965 by Mr. Joseph
Shofner, a primarily a language teacher at San
Clemente HS. Legend says that Mr. Shofner was in the
teacher's lounge one day and asked why such an up to date
school didn't have a marching band. Because of some
previous marching band experience, he was assigned the dubious
task of forming, training, and preparing a marching band
for performances.
As marching band started to perform, the first drum
major chosen was John Iverson. Mr. Iverson tells us
that he was picked for the position simply because he was
tall. The band also worked to raise funds for uniforms,
and each member purchased their own uniforms. In the first
year of existence, the marching band performed in several
parades.
You
can read Mr. Iverson's accounting of the marching band and
Mr. Shofner on the Alumni "Memories" page.

CURRENT PROGRAM
The Triton Marching Alliance has a distinguished history
of parade competition going back as far as 1965 and into
the 80's. The present band is primarily a field band,
which travels to five competitions each fall, numerous
football
games, local parades, and the SCSBOA Marching Band Championships.
The band has qualified for championships six times in seven
years, and has won the SCSBOA Marching Band Championship
bronze medal twice.
The
Triton Marching Alliance is made up of students from the
Wind Ensemble, Orchestra, and the Dance Pageantry.
Orchestra members often participate as part of the percussion
front ensemble, or as members of the Dance Pageantry.
The Dance Pageantry unit is a modern color guard that focuses
on dance technique, and prop and equipment handling.
Being
part of the Triton Marching Alliance means that you are
also part of the school spirit and image. Members
perform at football games, travel to away games with the
team, and perform at rallies and assemblies starting in
August.
