Homewood High School Band
Over the podium in our band room hangs three stars. Each star represents a cornerstone of the Homewood High School band program; Pride, Perfection and Professionalism. These key attributes are at the center of what every band student strives for in their everyday life at Homewood High School. It is a proud legacy that we have adhered for over four decades. These high standards have allowed the Homewood Patriot Marching Band to be one of the most recognizable and most respected high school bands in the world. Currently, the Homewood High School Patriot Band consists of three concert bands, 3 percussion ensembles, multiple jazz bands, Patriot Color Guard, and the Star Spangled Girls dance team. Our student musicians, dancers and guard are internationally known, having participated in the most prestigious parades in the United States and Europe and have appeared on international television broadcasts in hundreds of countries. This is no easy feat and is the culmination of a school system and community focused on the importance of music education.
Across the last 20 years, our high school marching band has grown from 140 students to over 400. This year, 395 9th-12th graders are marching. That number represents over 40 percent of our student enrollment, making us the largest high school band in Alabama based on overall numbers and student participation. Between our middle school and high school, we currently have over 1000 Homewood students participating in our various bands. It’s an unprecedented number that continues to grow year after year.
The Band is under the Director of Mr Chris Cooper, with assistants, Ron Pence (retired HWD Band Director), Terrance Cobb, Lauren Nowak, and Ryan Murrell.

It is like receiving the “Heisman trophy”.

During this pandemic, the band and color guard, under the direction of Professor Adam Gumble and staff, gathered together to create an amazing production just for us set to the Music of “Winter Wonderland”. .
