9th Grade:  February 3, 2014 @ 6:30 pm in the RHS Bandroom
All incoming 9th graders (Class of 2018) from our feeder middle schools and to those students who are interested in coming to Roosevelt High School on a GE (geographical exemption) and plan to participate in the music program, please come to an informational meeting regarding the RHS Music Department.  Hear about the opportunities that await students who want to be a part of the Concert Band, Symphonic Band, Concert Orchestra, Symphonic Orchestra, and Marching Band.  Also meet some of the band booster parents who can share some of the parental involvement and help that is necessary to help make the muscial experiences for our students possible.  In addition to music making, other aspects of the RHS music program help to nurture and develop students such as service projects, competitions, camps, social events, and more.  "It takes an entire village to educate a child."

Marching Band:  February 24 2014 @ 6:30 pm in the RHS Bandroom
All incoming 9th AND upperclassmen who are NEW or first time marching band participants....There will be an informational meeting to hear and learn about what extra time and involvement is needed to be a marching band student.  Although the majority of the practice and events will be outside of school time, there is so much fun and dedication on the part of the students and their families, that it is truly a wonderful program and experience to be a part of.  If you are not sure of what your interests may be in high school, marching band is a good place to start and meet new people

Happy New Year to all our students, families and friends of the RHS Music Department!  Thank you for your continuous dedication and support.  We would like to kick off 2014 with a "QUICK" fundraiser that will benefit the entire music department.  
Each student will recieve an envelope containing 10 tickets for Portuguese sausage: (5) 8 oz. kim chee sausage and (5) 8 oz. mild sausage.  The cost is $5.00 per ticket.  This is a great item to purchase for your Super Bowl Party---just grill it up!!  All net proceeds from this fundraiser will be applied to the Music Department's general fund.

Deadlines for this fundraiser will be as follows:

• Fundraiser selling period:  January 14 - January 23, 2014 (Students will be getting their tickets through Mr. Abe or Mr. Masuno starting January 14.)
  
• Payment & unsold tickets due:  Friday, January 24, 2014 (Please turn in promptly so that an accurate count can be made to Kukui Sausage Company)
  
• Fundraiser pick up:  Saturday, February 1, 2014 between 10:00 a.m. and 12:00 p.m. on the parking area adjacent to the auditorium

You may also choose to make a monetary donation of $25 in lieu of selling the 10 tickets issued. (Please return the tickets with your donation to either Mr. Abe or Mr. Masuno.) Our anticipated earning is about $2.50 per ticket sold.
