Friday nights with the RCHS Cougar Band!

Remember! This upcoming Tuesday is our Fall Instrument Night.

If you still need to get an instrument for your child to play in class this year, please plan to join us on Tuesday, August 25th at 4:30pm for a brief presentation from Music&Arts about the rent-to-own program that they provide to our students.

Following the meeting, students will have the opportunity to test out the mouthpieces of all of our starter instruments to find their best fit. Music&Arts will bring extra inventory to the meeting so that students will have their instrument the very next day!

This would also be a good opportunity to talk to Mr. Williams about other strategies to get a quality band instrument for your child if you would like to explore different options.

See you soon!

It's almost that time again!

Returning students should already have most if not all of these supplies. Starting last year, we have switched from 3 ring binders to Music & Arts paper folders to limit congestion of weapons detection during morning arrival and we will continue to do that this year. We will continue to stock those in the Band Shop.

New students who have not yet found a quality band instrument are invited to join us on Tuesday, August 25th at 4:30pm for a Music & Arts instrument night where families can take advantage of the rent-to-own program they provide to our students.

For all new students and returning students who need a new RCMS Band Polo, we will be placing another order in the first few weeks of school this year. All students who wish to purchase a new polo will need to preorder.

Please join us for our RCMS Band Spring Concert!

These students have worked relentlessly this semester and are very excited to show off what they have been working on.

Parents and family may begin being seated at 5:30pm when we open the double doors at the main entrance. Weapons detection will be active so please keep in mind as you decide what to bring in to the concert.

Performers are expected to arrive to RCMS by 6:30pm to ensure they have enough time to set up and be counted in attendance.

Looking forward to seeing you there!
