• Olentangy Orange is well known for its marching band. The Marching Pioneers currently have around 200 members, ^[6] and practice a "show" style of marching similar to that of the Ohio University Marching 110, contrasting with the common "competition" style often employed by high school marching bands. Currently under the direction of Joshua Boyer, the band performs regionally and nationally. Annually they participate in the Circleville Pumpkin Show in Circleville, Ohio, ^[7] and have most recently performed in the 2024 Saint Patrick's Day Parade. ^[8] Past national performances include at the 2021 Hollywood Christmas Parade, ^[9] 2018 Philadelphia Thanksgiving Day Parade, ^[10] the 2016 Chick-fil-A Peach Bowl in Atlanta, Georgia, ^[11] and the 2013 Chicago Thanksgiving Day Parade. ^[12]
