Regis Middle School Music Department

This rockstar made Regis proud today at the All-Iowa Honor Jazz Band! Zach Meyer was one of just 20 students to be selected for this prestigious group. Congrats, Zach, and bravo!

Congratulations to these fine musicians and Mr. Langley!

This year, over 2,400 auditions were submitted state-wide for only 720 spots into Opus. We are so pleased to report that Regis Middle School will have 5 students representing us at Opus this year! Mr. Langford and our team are so proud of the work that all of our students invested in the audition process.

Natalie Fuller, Zoe Delgado, Bryce Gundacker, Samuel Banaszek, and Henry Lammers were all accepted!

In addition to being accepted, Samuel Banaszek has also been selected as a solo finalist!

Go, Royals!

We had such a great time at Future Saints Night last night! The high school kids did a great job of welcoming the 8th graders into their Band family, the 176-person combined band played great at pre-game, we loved watching the halftime show, and we were so proud to see our Regis alumni crushing it in high school band!!

Future Saints Night for Band! The 8th graders did fantastic in their crash course in marching! Enjoying a preview Les Mis before we head out for pregame!

Do you have a student singer who may like to audition for Iowa OPUS Honor Choir, a choir that highlights the most talented 5th-9th graders from across the state? Then consider signing your vocalist up for OPUS Honor Choir Camp, August 12-15 at St. Pius X school. Please register by July 15. See the attached flyer for more information!

It’s Concert Day, Royals! Just a few reminders for tonight:

6 PM - Jazz Band Photo in the gym (with instruments)
6:15 PM - 6th Band to Davies, 7th Choir to Diebold
6:30 PM - 7th/8th Band to Davies, 6th Choir to Diebold
6:45 PM - 8th Choir to Diebold

Thank you to those of you that have volunteered to bring refreshments for afterwards! There is a table in the gym for those.

Another thing to think about- if you haven’t had the chance to bring your MCO donations, we will be collecting at the concert as well!! Tables for those donations are outside of the gym!

All are welcome to come support the hard work of our music students!

Ready to cheer on Danika Klima and Ciera Wing at the IBA All-Iowa 8th grade honor band in Des Moines!
They were selected back in December through a challenging audition. Today they get to premiere a brand new piece of music composed for this group by the conductor, Darryl Johnson III.
Way to represent Regis, ladies! Congratulations!!

We had a great time visiting the band students at All Saints this morning! With the help of some 8th grade leaders we played some fun songs together and talked about music at Regis!

The awesome cast and crew of Matilda crushed it tonight! One more show tomorrow night at 7!

After a little (too much) excitement with the weather we are all safe, happy, and ready for the NEICDA Honor Choir concert! Congratulations to (L-R) Bryce Gundacker, Brooklynn Braid, Nate Coates, Leah Nguyen, Will Baumann, Sawyer Pompeii, Brynn Horton, and Kamryn Waddell!

Now it’s the 7th and 8th graders’ turn to perform at the Coe College Junior High Honor Band! Congratulations to Zach Meyer, Jeffrey Muller, and Stella Jacobs!

This group rehearses two Sundays in a row for today, and it shows— wow!! These kids also got to work with composer Carol Brittin Chambers in addition to Coe music professor Steve Shanley. What a great experience!

This Fab Four is representing Regis today at the Coe College Elementary Honor Band! Congratulations Zoe Delgado, Leia Hadley, Sam Banaszek, and Dathan Towell!

They got to work with Texas-based composer Carol Brittin Chambers, and they sound amazing! Great job Royals!!
