The Dos Pueblos High School Instrumental Music Program includes the Marching Band, Color Guard, Drum Line, Jazz Band, Concert Band and Orchestra. Under the music direction of Les Rose and with support from the Band Boosters, the program has grown tremendously in the past few years and received many honors. Some highlights....

• The 60 member Dos Pueblos Marching Chargers won first place at the Royal Classic on October 17th. The Chargers took second place once in the 2A division at the Oxnard Tournament on Nov. 14th. The Chargers finished the year participating in the SCSBOA Championship in San Diego on Dec 5th. Congratulations to the Marching Chargers for their numerous awards!

• The Dos Pueblos Jazz Band won first place at the prestigious Reno Jazz Festival on April 26. It also placed first at the 2009 Cuesta College Jazz Festival in March. The Advanced Jazz Band is a sought-after swing dance band, being professionally paid since 2006. They were guest performers at the 2007 Next Generation Jazz Festival in Monterey, CA, and were invited to perform at the Jubilee by the Sea Jazz Festival in Pismo Beach - one of only four non-professional bands to be invited.  Dos Pueblos will host its 41st Annual Jazz Festival on March 6, 2010.

• The Concert band has performed at Disney’s California Adventure for the past two years, in addition to their annual Spring Concert.
  

•  Orchestra provided music for Dos Pueblos musicals--Beauty and the Beast & Annie-- in the new theater. Though it is too early to tell, it is envisioned that this instrumental group could become as popular as the Advance Jazz Band with paid and benefit performances.

• The Color Guard had an excellent winter season. They placed first at the Glendora High School Competition in April and the WGASC Hungtinton Beach Show in March.
