WHERE HBCU CULTURE COMES ALIVE BEFORE COLLEGE.
Cobra Performing Arts introduces students in grades 1–12 to the excitement, traditions, leadership, and cultural pride of Historically Black Colleges and Universities through music, dance, marching arts, academics, and college preparation.
Welcome to Cobra Performing Arts, where young people discover their talents, strengthen their confidence, and experience the excitement of HBCU-inspired campus life.
For approximately 20 years, Cobra Performing Arts has helped young people develop discipline, creativity, teamwork, leadership, and a sense of belonging through performing arts programs and community engagement.
Our expanded vision brings together marching band, drumline, majorette dance, step, cheerleading, flag performance, choir, student government, college tours, homecoming experiences, academic support, and career development.
From a student’s first rehearsal to their future college or career pathway, Cobra provides opportunities to grow, perform, lead, and dream bigger.
