Red Bank High School Blue Lion Band

These pictures show practice.

What they do not show are the countless hours these students have spent learning music, cleaning drill, showing up in the heat, pushing through hard rehearsals, and building this program into something worthy of opportunities like this. 💙

The Blue Lion Band is headed to the **Fiesta Bowl Parade**, and we are working incredibly hard to raise the money necessary to make this opportunity a reality for our students.

If you are able to help, your donation directly supports getting these kids to Arizona.

They are doing their part on the practice field. We are asking our community to help us with the rest.

Thank you for believing in the Blue Lions. 💙
