Originally known as the
John L. Perko Classic the
North Buncombe High School Blackhawk Classic continues to keep John's dream alive. We would like to welcome you to this outstanding marching band competition.
The NBHS Band was started in 1959. Much of NBHS band's success is tied to the expectations and traditions set in place by the former band director, Wallace Brown. After 31 years of teaching at NBHS, Mr. Brown retired in June of 2003. In the fall of 2003, Mr. D. Sanford Boone was hired as the NBHS band director.
The NBHS Band curriculum offers Marching Band, Concert Band, Symphonic Band, Jazz Band, Percussion Ensemble, Winter Guard, Pit Orchestra, and AP Music Theory. In the 2010-2011 school year, we placed 23 students in All-County Band, 21 students in All-District Band, 10 students in West Region Jazz Band, 3 students in All-State Jazz Band and 2 student in All-State Honors Band.
