Crimson Regiment Band and Guard
The Crimson Regiment marching band has made notable achievements in the past, such as: placing 3rd in the 1999 WBA Championships in the 5A (the highest class) and taking Sweepstakes in both the parade and field show competition at the 2000 Tostitos Fiesta Bowl. The program underwent changes after the 1999–2000 season. The Crimson Regiment also performed at 2004 Nokia Sugar Bowl. The Crimson Regiment won the title of AAA Champions in the WBA circuit in 2004.

After a four-year hiatus, the band has started production of marching field shows under the direction of Loren Gamarra with "Nightwatch." They performed their show titled "In The Grid" and their 2016-2017 show was titled "Let's Dance" in the 2015–2016 season. 2017-2018 show was titled "Impressions" there 2018-2019 show was titled "24601"
During the 2019-2020 school year, the band went to WBA Championships with a field show titled “Twilight Zone”, finishing in the top 20.
In 2021-2022 had to halt competitions due to COVID-19 restrictions and went under a new director, Andrew Silva, during the winter season.
