The Victor Marching Blue Devils
The Victor Marching Blue Devils is an extra-curricular marching band program that has been a long and upstanding tradition in the Victor Central School District. The group celebrated its 25th season of involvement in the New York State Field Band Conference (NYFBC) in 2006.

The group's history includes winning six NYSFBC State Championships (including the 2006 and 2007 NYSFBC Small School Division 1 State Championships) and the 2006 USSBA Yamaha Cup Group 4 Open Championship. In 2008, they moved up to the National Class in the NYSFBC, taking second place at the State Championships at the Carrier Dome in 2009. That same year, they placed fifth on a national level at the USSBA National Championships in Group 5.

In 2010, the Marching Blue Devils placed first in the National Class at the NYSFBC Championships with a score of 97.05 following an undefeated season in New York State. The group also returned to the United States Scholastic Band Association (USSBA) National Championships in 2010 and placed fourth in Group 5. In 2011 at the USSBA National Championships in Maryland, the colorguard placed first in their caption of best colorguard, naming them the best colorguard in the nation for the 2011 season. With their 2012 show, "SPIN" they brought home third place in the National Class at the NYSFBC Championships. In 2013, the group performed a show entitled "THE HEIST" and in 2014 a show entitled "MOBY DICK" where they brought home the third-place trophy once again. In 2015, they performed the show "LIGHT TO DARK, DARK TO LIGHT" a color progression show where they took first overall and in every caption.

Scheduling
Victor Senior High School utilizes a 4x4 block schedule, spanning two semesters, in which students have four, 85-minute classes each day, in unique combinations that cycle every four days. Each of the four days is identified by a letter of the alphabet; A, B, C, and D. There are essentially only two sets of classes that each student has to memorize, with the only difference being that on one of the four letter days, students either have a laboratory class or physical education. The laboratory class, which acts as just an additional science class, is required in order for students to be able to take the Regents Examinations at the end of the school year.

In the event of a snow day or any other cancellation of classes, those that were scheduled for the day of the cancellation are skipped over, ensuring that the proceeding schedule remains unaffected.
