Mooresville - Always a Large band and Always a top band within NC
Carver - Very Flashy and Loud. Not the biggest band but they show out on Friday Night
West CLT : Similar to Carver and I love West Char. Uniforms
As I said in another post several months ago Carver football is a shell of itself. Sadly the band and the fans in attendance is also. I was at at Carver game last year, which had 18 players and about 20 band members. Along with about 20 fans in the stands.Carver was a BIG deal back in the old days. I saw them in action when they came to Oak Grove two seasons ago. First, they were 30 minutes late to the game. Secondly, they were tiny and way too quiet. Thirdly, the shining star in the group was an 8 year old who brought his own snare drum.
I sat near two Oak Grove parents who were Carver graduates. They sat there with their jaws wide open in disbelief of what that band has been reduced to.
I have been told by several that the expenses to be in a band is significant. That is some of the reason for smaller bands. Anyone on here that has direct knowledge of the cost if any for band members?
Carver could easily get back on track. I think it starts with the community pride.
Dudley
Carver
Andrews
Northern Guilford
Western Alamance
I agree with you. Community Pride is a huge factor. BUT... with a school system that provides a way to go to schools outside your assigned feeder pattern.. that’s hard to do anymore. But it could happen if all the stars align.

Carver's days as the #1 dog are over.. there's too many teams on the rise in that area. Carver #2.. I mean Walkertown's open down the road, then you got Prep who's a solid small 1A program with an ACC player, then East who are champions.. who would want to go to Carver now?
If they would drop to 1A they would be maybe a solid 5-7 win team every year. Their depth and interest rate just isn't good.. Soccer for them last year had kids out and was more competitive.. says a lot about the culture.
Scotland’s band is slept on as well, if we’re going the traditional route.
