[edit] Extra curricular
The Shadow Mountain Marching Band is the most successful marching band in Arizona. They have received Superior Ratings at many competitions over the years. While hosting the 2006 Division III State Marching Band Festival, the Marching Matadors took Sweepstakes in all captions with their show titled "King Kong" but also referred to as "The Island." The band is known for winning the trophy for Best Band in the PV District. The band is also renowned for its cheering rituals during award ceremonies. Because of this, most other bands remain silent, clap quietly, or don't at all.
The Shadow Mountain Academic Decathlon team hosted the Arizona Region II competition on February 2-3, 2007. The team beat out 28 other schools, and took first place with 39,200 points narrowly defeating South Mountain High School.
