[edit] Marching band

The Patriots Marching Band features 270 members, composed of winds, brass, colorguard, front ensemble, and drumline. The band performs in regional competitions and marches a "street show" in parades. The Patriots enjoyed consecutive undefeated seasons in 2005 and 2006, with the shows "Revolución" and "Carnaval," respectively. "Carnaval' is a quick paced show that mimics the party scene of Brazil, much like Mardi Gras in the United States. The band marched in the Tournament of Roses Parade in Pasadena, California in 1992, 1998 and 2005. The band also marched in the 1994 and 2000 Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade in New York City. On April 19, 2007, it was announced that the Lincoln High School Patriot Marching Band will be one of ten high schools marching in the 2008 Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade.^[2]
