The Key Club is a service oriented club that meets weekly, and hosts many service opportunities during the year. Dulaney also offers a theatrical program, which performs yearly plays as well as musicals. Dulaney also has a Vex Robotics team; it used to have a FIRST Robotics team, until the mentor stepped down in 2011. One of the largest and most prestigious organizations at Dulaney is the Lion's Roar Marching Band. The band marched in the 2011 New Year's Day Parade [3] and has been invited to perform again in the 2015 London New Year's Day Parade.[4] The band has also marched several parades down Main Street, USA in the Magic Kingdom Park at Walt Disney World in Orlando, Florida and performed in the 2013 Allstate Sugar Bowl Halftime Show.[5]
