The
East Tartan Regiment has been under the direction of Mr. Scott
Brehm since 2001, who is also the first Director of Bands
for the Sciotoville Community East High School (formerly Portsmouth
East). The band represents the community of Sciotoville, Ohio
in competitions ranging from OMEA (Ohio Music Education Association)
sanctioned regional events, to Bands of America Grand Nationals
Championships. The band also performs at East's football
games, in various parades, and many other musical events throughout
the year. |
The band
averages around 50 members every year, occasionally having
as many as 60 or as low as 40 official members. The
band is considered a class C school in OMEA sanctioning.
This ranking is based upon the number of students in the school,
grades 10-12. East averages around 150 students in this
range, which is well below the cutoff point for Class C. Potential
band members are permitted to try out for the band at as young
as 7th grade. |
The
band strives for excellence in performance when abroad at
competitive, and other musical events. Because of their
dedication to their art, the band has received many honors
befitting their wonderful performances. Since 1995,
the band has received 25 Overall Grand Champion awards, 6
OMEA State Finals Superior Ratings, and other recognition
on the local, State, and National level, including performances
at Bands of America Regional and National Championships. |
