RBHS Choirs perform





Chamber Choir and Madrigals Visit Feeder Schools
The two advanced choirs of RBHS had a great day of touring and performing on Friday, April 23. They visited Komarek School and S.E. Gross Middle School. They performed concerts at both schools and were very well received. The junior high students were especially thrilled with the performance of "Don't Stop Believing" and "Bridge Over Troubled Water". The RB students were especially thrilled with the bus ride and their super deluxe annual luncheon at "Old Country Buffet"!

Madrigals Vocal Jazz Concert
The RBHS Madrigals a.k.a. "Vocal Jazz Ensemble" performed a concert of jazz standards on Tuesday, April 20. In addition to their usual ensemble work, many of the students performed solos and small ensembles of their own. The students learned wonderful songs like "I've Got the World on A String", "Cry Me A River", and "Agua de Beber". The Alumni Lounge was filled with parents, students and friends who enjoyed the concert as well as the wonderful refreshments!


Visitors from Minnesota!

The Concert Choir of Bertha-Hewitt High School visited RB on April 8. They were on a choir trip to Chicago and we made arrangements to have a "choir exchange" during their visit. We enjoyed hearing their repertoire and they enjoyed hearing the Madrigals perform.
