Marching band

The Perkins Pirate Marching Band has had the honor of qualifying for the Ohio Music Education Association (OMEA) State Marching Band Finals every year since its creation in 1980, 34 years ago. Only one other band in the state of Ohio has qualified for the competition every year since its creation. In 2012 the band received a Superior Rating (I) at the Maumee Marching Band Competition in Maumee, Ohio, the North Coast Marching Band Festival at Perkins High School, and the Swanton Bulldog Bowl in Swanton, Ohio. At the State Marching Band Finals in November, they received a Superior Rating (I). The director of the band is John Kustec. The marching band will compete in the State Marching Band Finals again in November 2013 for the 34th year in a row.

The Perkins Pirate Band Program officially took the lead in 2006 for having the largest student-to-band member ratio in the state of Ohio, 188 students in band, with over one-third of the high school population involved in the band program.

The Pirate Band qualified for the State Finals by receiving Superior Ratings at both the Maumee, Swanton, and North Coast (held at PHS) Marching Band Competitions in October 2013. At the Swanton Bulldog Bull, the band received 3rd Place Overall, best Percussion, and best Auxiliaries. The entire marching band, including musicians, Flags, Pirettes and Pit Crew are judged on the performance of their music, marching and drills. The PHS Marching Band received Superior Ratings in all of these individual categories. 2013 marks the 34th consecutive year that the Perkins Band has qualified for the State Finals, making them one of only two schools in the entire state with that distinction.
