The band has also competed in the Smokey Mountain Music Festival several times, receiving superior ratings each time.

Also in 2012, the EHS Wind Ensemble was selected to be one of the guest performing bands at the Southeastern United States Band Clinic held at Troy University in Troy, AL. In the spring of 2014, for the first time ever, all three of the EHS concert bands received superior ratings at the Alabama Music Performance Assesment.
