Welcome to the Home of the First Colonial Marching Patriots!

Since 1966, the First Colonial High School Band program has been a pillar of the Virginia Beach community. Whether we are performing on the field as 3-time State Champions, competing on the national stage at WGI World Championships, or performing at the Virginia Beach Holiday Parade, our students strive for excellence in every note.
