The Colonels Pride!

Who is "The Colonels Pride"? The Colonels Pride is the James Wood High School band - a group of JWHS students that work together during the school and non-school hours to present an award winning musical program. The musical program is under the overall direction of Mr. Jeff Rutherford. Through a strong parent organization and continued dedication of the Frederick County School Board and students, the James Wood High School Band has become a well respected organization within the Frederick County community, Winchester, VA, community, and State of Virginia.

The band boosters are an organization open to all parents and other supports of the band. Parents of JWHS Band students are automatically voting members of the organization. Other supporters are eligible for honorary, non-voting membership. JWHS band students are welcome to all general membership meetings and their input is encouraged. JWHS Band students are allowed to vote on proposed projects; however they are not allowed to make nominations or vote for the election of booster officers.
