By Antioch Unified School District
It was a hot day but that didn’t stop 24 school music groups from giving great performances.
On Saturday, Oct 3, 2026, the 37th annual Delta Band Review started the day of competition with a parade in front of Antioch Middle School on D Street.
A total of 20 high school marching bands competed. The event also included a jazz contest, with four schools competing.
The Deer Valley High School Teal & Black Regiment marched away with the second place award in the Parade division 2A. The Parade and Jazz Competition awards were presented in Eels Stadium.
Antioch High School’s Pride of Antioch Marching Band and Color Guard kicked off the day but, as event host, wasn’t eligible for awards.
Thanks to the many who made this event so special.
