We need your help - 11/8/24

We need volunteers to help run the concessions stand at Children’s Health Stadium on November 8th. The WGHS band will be away in San Antonio for a marching competition and we need Rogers parents and students to help run the concessions stands. Its actually super fun and students can do many of the jobs. We have already had several students earn NJHS volunteers ours working the in concession stands.

Performing Band Formal Concert Attire (SW, CBI, CBII) not for beginning band

It’s that time of year! Our Rogers Band students are nearing their first “formal’’ concert, and it is important they look the part! Our concert dress consists of an all-black concert attire, so students all look the same. It also looks professional on the concert stage! Students need to have all the parts of their uniform purchased by Friday, November 22nd, so it is ready to go for their Winter Concert on December 17th. Please see the examples in the handout for what is (and is not) acceptable “concert black” attire: Formal Concert Attire Handout!!
