Alexandria City High School's Marching Titans got a Superior rating from every judge at Virginia's state marching assessment. The band is a 2026 Virginia Honor Band.

Alexandria City High School’s Marching Titans earned a Superior rating from every judge at this year’s state marching assessment. That is five Superior ratings out of five.

Alexandria City Public Schools announced the result in a post on Friday. The assessment is run by the Virginia Band and Orchestra Directors Association, known as VBODA.

Band Director Doug Rogers and the band’s two 2026 drum majors accepted the rating for the band, the school division said.

What the assessment is

The State Marching Assessment is a yearly evaluation. High school marching bands from across Virginia show their musical and marching abilities, the school division said. A Superior from all five judges means top marks across the board.

A Virginia Honor Band again

The high school’s music program has earned Virginia Honor Band recognition six times, including 2026, according to the school division.

What it means for you

If you have a student in the band, this is the top result the state assessment gives. For families looking at music programs, it is one marker of the high school’s band, alongside the Honor Band record.
