The North Hall Band program consists of a marching band, symphonic band, concert band, jazz band, winter guard, indoor drumline, and several smaller ensembles. The Marching Trojans compete at three competitions during the fall.
The NHHS Jazz Band held a benefit concert in 2007 after an E-F4 tornado struck Enterprise High School in Alabama and demolished the band hall. At the end of the night, the NHBA President announced that nearly $5500 had been raised for the Enterprise Big Blue Band, and a check was hand delivered the next week.
