Welcome to the home of the Centaurus High School Marching Warriors! We are an award-winning, 4A band program from Centaurus High School in Lafayette, Colorado. Led by Director Aaron Vogelsberg, the CHS Band program also includes Concert Band and Jazz Band, and competes in Winter Guard and Winter Percussion.
