Join the RHS Marching Band tonight in their end of season celebration and final performance of their 2009 production “Immortal.” Lead by director Mr. Shane Macklin, the concert will be held in the RHS auditorium at 7:30 p.m. tonight.
The concert will be preceded by the annual Marching Band Chicken Dinner, taking place in the commons from 5-7 p.m. Tickets for the combined dinner and show are $10 each. Tickets for just the show are $5 for adults, $4 for students, $3 for seniors (with gold cards) and free to children age 5 and under.
The competition season closed when the band traveled to the 2009 Bands of America Super Regional Marching Band competition in St. Louis, Missouri, on October 16, where they placed 16th out of 50 bands. Yet the best part of the season to some was not the competiton or the travel. According to sophomore Shelby Monshaugen, being with friends and forging new friendships was most important.
Learning was also a primary focus for many.
“I learned new marching techniques and how to be more disciplined,” said sophomore Anna Merritt.
