Who is the Renegade Regiment?

The Renegade Regiment is the marching band of Union High School in Tulsa, OK. Under the direction of Dale Barnett for 22 years, along with other talented staff specializing in music (Jair Klarfeld), colorguard (Wes Cartwright), drill (Alan Mueggenborg), and percussion (Brian Jackson), the Drum Corps-style marching band has been awarded numerous honors. During my years of marching in RR from 1990-1992 seasons, we had approximately 220 members, and competed in state, regional, and national competitions with our three shows. We traveled within Oklahoma, as well as to Texas, Colorado, Florida, Indiana, West Virginia, and Washington, DC to perform and to compete. We won state competition 2 out of 3 years, placed 4th at regionals, 9th at nationals, and won competitions in Arlington, TX; Orlando, FL; and Denver, CO. Though we had fun playing at our football games, our aim was to excel in competition, to be "gummy bear perfect!"
