Alumni - History Page Archive

We are (slowly) accumulating materials to post on our History Page. Our current project is collecting, scanning, and posting old concert programs.

If you have old programs that you would like to share - please scan and e-mail them to samohibandwebmaster@yahoo.com.

If you have other materials you think friends and alumni may be interested in - please let us know! Santa Monica has one of the oldest high school bands in the Western US! We have a lot of history that we can share!

The Samohi Bands

The Santa Monica High School Band was established in 1915, under the direction of Arnold Wagner. The band is one of the oldest high school bands in California, and has a rich heritage due to outstanding instruction, a long history of community support, and its location in proximity to the entertainment industry and premier west coast artistic community. The band flourished and grew in the 1950's under the direction of Dick Wagnon, and is currently under the direction of Terry Sakow. Mr. Sakow is believed to be the longest serving music teacher ever at the high school - beginning in 1990.

Happy New Year - London!

The Samohi Viking Marching Band has returned from their 2009 New Year London Performance! The last time the marching band left the United States was in the 1960's when the band traveled to Mazatlan. The students had a great experience and gave fantastic performances!
