The Ram Regiment, the marching band at Palm Beach Lakes Community High School in West Palm Beach, is being praised as one of the best bands in Florida. Band president Jazz Velez said the group has been named a seven-time MVP, has won seven FNBC championships and has earned seven superior ratings.
The band has won the state championship and is the top superior-rated band in West Palm Beach, according to the report. It recently traveled to London for the 2026 New Year’s Day Parade.
Students say the band’s role goes beyond game days. Quarterback Jordan Johnson said the band energizes the crowd at halftime and after touchdowns. Band vice president Trevon Richardson said he plans to play his instrument at the college level, and the report says the band is helping students pursue scholarships that could cover college costs.
Velez said the pressure is constant because the band must perform a full show at every game, home or away.
