Welcome to the
Obama Academy Marching Band

The Obama Marching Band (OMB) was first established in 2011. The band is comprised of interested music students in grades 7 through 12. Student musicians represent the high-achievement and excellence modeled by our school Pittsburgh Obama Academy. In 2023, OMB represented the City of Pittsburgh as ambassadors in the 2023 National Memorial Day Parade in Washington, DC. We collaborated with three Pittsburgh Public Schools: Pittsburgh Allderdice HS, Pittsburgh Brashear HS, and Pittsburgh Obama Academy to form Pittsburgh’s “One Band One Sound” All-City Marching Band.

 

The marching band performs at parades, pep rallies, football games, and other community-wide events. As a source of musical inspiration, we strive to provide relevant music for listeners. The Obama Marching Band is committed to three core values: Pride, Energy, and Power. No other discipline in education requires the high level of achievement from all participants, as musical performance. Through the level of commitment required, we hope to better prepare our students for the responsibilities encountered throughout their lives. The Obama Academy motto is, “Nothing in life is so complicated that it cannot be achieved by discipline and hard work”.
