Rivalries
Thanks to the circumstances surrounding College Station High School's opening, the school can be considered to rival three other high schools. The first, A&M Consolidated High School, is the only other high school in the city of College Station. Second, Bryan High School is the namesake school of College Station's sister city: Bryan, Texas. The third and final high school rival is James Earl Rudder High School, which, like College Station High School, is the second high school in its city and the more modern of the two. In effect, all of the College Station-Bryan area's high schools rival the others.
College Station HS Cougar Band & Guard
The College Station High School Cougar Band & Guard program consists of over 210 students in grades 9–12. The band program offers many performance opportunities, such as Marching Band, Jazz Band, Percussion, Color Guard and Winter Guard. The program is under the direction of Jon Seale, Michael Dixon, Greg Montgomery, Zane Taylor, and Kelly Montgomery. The Cougar Band is the largest spirit organization at College Station High School. The 210 member band performs at all high school football games, pep rallies, and the annual Bryan College Station Christmas Parade. In addition, the Cougar Band participates in three to five marching contests per year. These contests are generally held the last Saturday of September and throughout the month of October and the first week of November. Additionally, the Cougar Band has represented Region 8 at the Area D Marching Contest since its inaugural year of 2012. The Cougar Band also hosts its own Drumline Contest in November called "Drums Along the Brazos Drumline Contest". In the concert band season and once marching season is concluded, the band participates in UIL Concert and Sightreading Contest and/or one or two festivals per school year. Additionally the concert band performs three to five concerts each year. The College Station High School Jazz Band is becoming one of the most popular musical organizations at CSHS. Membership is through competitive placement audition determining which of the three concert bands the student falls into. The Jazz Band performs at UIL events, TMEA/ATSSB events, invitational events and festivals, and community events. The Jazz Band also performs at special events and school district concerts during the year. College Station High School supports a very active and growing color guard program. Color guard, known as the "sport of the arts" is one of the fastest growing activities in today's high schools. The guard performs and competes with the marching band in the fall and competes separately as a visual ensemble in the spring.
Orchestra
The College Station High School Orchestra, currently directed by Jason Hooper, consists of a varsity and a non-varsity group. The two orchestras compete annually in UIL competitions, which test the students' skills in a prepared stage performance, as well as a sight-reading event. The orchestra generally performs four concerts a year as well as occasional recruiting concerts at local elementary schools. In its inaugural year, the orchestra was conducted by Jeffrey Hill, now retired. In March 2015, the students of the CSHS Orchestra travelled to New York City where they performed at the iconic Carnegie Hall.
