Marching Rams Show Band
Band founded 1944
The Marching Rams Show Band traces its line to 1944 and bills itself as the 'Soul of Southwest Georgia,' known for precision, high-stepping style, and a powerful sound. The band played the Honda Battle of the Bands Invitational Showcase in 2007, 2008, 2009, 2010, 2011, 2012, and 2013, earning a 2019 nomination; its 2016 Rose Bowl Parade trip was backed by the 'Rams in the Roses' campaign. Under Dr. William Brooks the band reportedly named its first-ever female head drum major in 2026 and added the historic Thanksgiving Parade appearance to its resume.
