The Buena High School Music Program prides itself on its rich forty five year marching history and tradition. In the mid to late 80's and early 90’s the Buena High School Marching Band and Color Guard was revered as one of Southern California's top Marching Bands. The Buena High School Marching Band has performed in Canada, Spain, the Rose Parade, Hollywood Christmas Parade, and many short film documentaries. In the early 2000’s the Marching Band won the WGI title in their respective division. In the mid 90’s the Buena High School Music Department saw the addition of a Winter Marching Program when Winter Drumline and Winter Guard was added to its schedule of courses. Now, for the first time in its history the Buena Music Department is under the direction and coached by alumni! Did you know the Buena High School Marching Band grew to over 200 students in the 80’s? We would very much like to see the Marching program at Buena grow to this size once again! Prospective students are encouraged to email Mr. Salehi to obtain more information about our Marching Ensembles at Buena. Let’s bring back the “Pride of the Gold Coast” to Ventura!
