Barbara Baker has begun her thirteenth year as the Director of Bands at McIntosh High School. The band program has grown over the years and currently consists of 210 students who are divided into four performing concert bands. The McIntosh Bands have a long history of superior performances in both concert and marching. The Spirit of McIntosh is the marching band and the largest organized cheering body for our school.

The Band also had a very successful Southeastern Color Guard Circuit (SCGC) Winter Guard which over the years has consistently earned many class awards, class promotions and placed well at circuit championships. The McIntosh percussion section also has a long history of class placement awards with SCGC and also with the Percussive Arts National Competition which they won in 2002.
