Our Amazing
RRHS Marching Band performed this last weekend at the
Bands of America (BOA) Regional Competition in Las Vegas,
Nevada.
The RRHS Marching Band competed against
26 bands from California, Oklahoma, Utah, Arizona, Nevada,
Texas and Idaho! The band made it into finals and placed
8th overall. This was an amazing accomplishment considering
the caliber of the bands they were up against. Their performance
is based on the Cirque du Soleil, and the students were
able to see a show by Cirque du Soleil during their visit!
Students said it was the most amazing show they'd ever seen.
We are proud of the entire Marching Band, the directors
(Kurt Schmidt, Brad Dubbs, and Neil Bell), and all the parent
volunteers that helped with the trip. This coming weekend
the Marching Band will compete in the Zia Band competition
in Albuquerque (UNM Stadium). Go RAMS!
