The Bands of RHS Concert (ft. the 8th Grade Band) & RHS Class Sign-ups!

2/3/2016

 
8th Grade Band families:

Please see below for some important information about the Bands of Randolph High School Concert featuring the 8th Grade Band as well as information about signing up for the Band Class at Randolph High School for next year.


The Bands of Randolph High School Concert featuring the RMS 8th Grade Band:
This upcoming concert features the RMS 8th Grade Band as special guest performers with the RHS Wind Ensemble (the premiere concert band ensemble at RHS). The 8th Grade Band will perform a combined piece with the RHS Wind Ensemble which is the top concert band at RHS.

In preparation for the Bands of Randolph High School Concert (information below), the 8th Grade Band will be having a combined rehearsal with the RHS Wind Ensemble.

Field Trip:  For the combined rehearsal, the 8th Grade Band will travel to RHS during Periods 6 & 7 on Monday, February 22nd.  
Students will have an opportunity to return to their RMS lockers prior to dismissal for the day.  The permission slip can be found at this link.

Bands of RHS Concert Information:
  • Thursday, February 25 (snow date: Feb. 26)
  • 7:30 PM in the RHS Auditorium - (Not at 7PM like RMS Concerts)
  • 8th Grade Band student report time will be 6:45PM at RHS (Warm-up room location TBA)



RHS Class Sign-Ups:
RHS Class Sign-ups are happening in the very near future, and the RHS Band Class as a LOT to offer students.  I've created a "Frequently Asked Questions About Signing Up for RHS Band Class".  
Please check out the RHS Band FAQ at this link.


The Randolph High School Band program is one of the strongest in the state of New Jersey, and involvement in music is good for students for so many reasons.  Here’s scientific proof (and I’ve got way more where this came from!):
  • Musicians spot mistakes more quickly and more accurately than non-musicians
  • Music lessons spur emotional and behavioral growth in children, new study says
  • What parents need to know about children's brains on music

As I mentioned in the FAQ, if you have any questions about the band class at RHS, please feel free to ask 8th Grade Band Director, Mr. Davidson (tdavidson@rtnj.org) or the RHS Director of Bands, Mrs. Dawn Russo (drusso@rtnj.org).
