Watch: Pittsburg marching band picked as best high school band in the Bay

PITTSBURG, Calif. (KRON) — KRON4 received an avalanche of nominations for best Bay Area high school band this May. Out of hundreds of schools, Pittsburg High School Marching Show Band rose to the top as No. 1 in the Bay.

KRON4 Meteorologist John Shrable, who plays the violin, took a break from weather forecasting on Friday to meet the band and capture incredible live performances.

Known as the “Pride of Pittsburg,” the award winning band has 180 members comprised of young rising musicians. They have performed at Golden State Warriors games in Chase Center, as well as traveled oversees.

Performing on the marching band requires memorizing music by heart. Members perform all songs without sheet music. Led by band director Jennifer Martinez, “they rehearse nonstop, they take it serious,” Shrable said.

The band will be back on KRON4 July 4, performing for our station’s fireworks special, “KRON4’s July 4th Live.”

The band wrote on Instagram, “We’re so excited and grateful for this opportunity to represent Pittsburg and share our band program with the Bay!”
