Second semester is officially off and running, and our Year of Marching Band has begun! Read on for all the details, events, and things we have happening in the band room for this week and beyond...
Return to Making Music in the Band Room! We will be making music together in the band room again upon our return to the classroom in February! Please read this letter from the RCS Music Department for more details regarding safety guidelines, regulations, and requirements in place for a safe return to music-making. Donations Needed! In anticipation of our return to making music in the band room, the SCHS Music Boosters would like to build 4 air filters before Feb 8, so they are ready for use when in-person classes begin. We are seeking volunteers to donate parts and volunteers to pick up the parts and assemble these easy, DIY filters.
