The Mountain Crest Mustang Marching Band has attained high excellence and recognition. In its first year in 1983, the marching band took the state title, and continued to do so for many years. In 1984, they competed at the National Competition in Whitewater Wisconsin, where they placed second. More recently, the band has still performed well. For 3 years in a row (2008, 2009, and 2010), they were finalists in the Bands of America Western Regional Championships. Under the direction of Jason Petrovich, the band competed in the 5A classification for 6 years before dropping to 4A in 2014, where they won the 4A state championship. The following year, they placed second, but their color guard and percussion maintained the state champion title. The Marching Mustangs have participated in many notable parades, including the National 4th of July parade in Washington D.C., and the Holiday Bowl parade in San Diego, California. The band is a recipient of the John Phillip Sousa Sudler Shield, and has received superior ratings at many state festivals for concert band.
