The Homestead Spartan Alliance Band is an elite Indiana high school marching band with a storied 50-plus year tradition of excellence. Band members build leadership skills, rehearse and refine musical performances and drill techniques, and form friendships carved from shared experiences.
The band includes talented musicians, color guard members, and drum majors who perform intricate shows before cheering crowds at regional, state, and national competitions.
Our mottos “We believe!” and “There is no finish line!” are value statements reflecting the confidence and pride our directors, staff, alumni, and parents have in the hard work and undeniable commitment put forth by all of our band and color guard members.

We believe!
The Spartan Alliance Band believes in artistry, musicianship, perseverance, leadership, respect, and fellowship.
We believe success is not measured by what we start, but by what we complete.
We believe in the pursuit of excellence. Band members learn and hone personal responsibility and time management skills. They discover individual effort is critical to the success of the group.
We believe in community. Spartan Alliance alumni span multiple generations. Current band members and parents feel connected to the past and share traditions while creating their own stories.
We believe in fellowship. Band members build meaningful, lasting friendships forged by the challenges of band camp, the thrill of performing at Lucas Oil Stadium and other unique venues, and the shared commitment to excellence and each other.
We believe in arts education. Involvement in the arts is widely associated with growth in math, reading, cognitive ability, critical thinking, and verbal skills. Arts learning improves motivation, confidence, focus and teamwork skills - and is fundamental to building social bonds.
