Band spotlight
HSSU Marching Hornets
Band founded 2009
The Marching Hornets are a young band with an old drumline soul: they grew out of a 20-kid community drumline into a full HBCU-style marching unit in 2009, complete with the Honeycombs and Golden Sting flags. They anchor Homecoming parades down Market Street to Kiener Plaza, basketball pep rallies in the Emerson gym, and the Dr. King statewide celebration — the sound of the school's modern era.
