Also, thanks to all the volunteers who helped make this year's Homecoming a success. Many helped with the parade, chili supper, split the pot, fall fundraiser, pit crew, etc. You're all awesome!
Again this year, all RHS band alumni are invited to perform with the band during pregame at the Homecoming game. Meet in the RHS band room following the parade and wear maroon and gold, if possible. We hope to see you there! Contact Mr. Roemer at richard.roemer@rossrams.com with any questions.
You're all invited to the Ross Band Boosters' annual Chili Supper this Friday (Oct. 2nd) 5-7pm in The RMS Cafeteria. This is a great way to come out and support the Ross Band program..
