Dear Parents and Students,
Welcome, incoming students and families, to the Roosevelt band program! Our first marching band event is coming up on Friday, May 25. Student activities will begin at 3:00. Family members are invited to join us in the auditorium at 5:00 for a brief meeting regarding our summer schedule. A pizza dinner follows in the auditorium atrium.
Roosevelt Rough Rider Marching Band Camp will take place at Walsh University. We will depart from Roosevelt High School on Sunday, July 29, and return to RHS on
Friday, August 3. At band camp we learn and begin to polish our first half-time show. Band camp participation is required.
