Weekly Instrumental Update

Hello Instrumental Music Community,

Things are really speeding up around the instrumental music department as we prepare for our Holiday Concert on December 10th at 7:00 PM in the main gym. Tickets will be available on that night at the door for $5.

Preliminary permission slips for our trip to Cleveland over Memorial Day weekend are due on December 15th. You won’t want your child to miss this tremendous opportunity. Mr. Baum describes this trip as “one of my most cherished memories from high school.” The first installment of $100 is due on December 15th. If you have not received an itinerary please let us know and we’ll be sure to send one home with you student.

Both the Jazz Band and the Jazz Ensemble will be featured at “We are RB” on Wednesday night. Stop by the Little Theater between 6:30 and 8:00 to listen!

The Chamber Orchestra will be playing this weekend for a private event in Riverside. They will be playing holiday selections as well as movements from Vivaldi’s Four Seasons. The group is available for hire through contacting Mr. Baum.

Congratulations to Molly Chaney, Kevin Dinh, and Ben Mitchell who were selected to represent RB at the IMEA All-State this January. This is a huge honor for these students and our school!

Musically Yours,
Mr. Baum and Mr. McOlgan
