Please ensure that students are in attendance and on time to their sectionals. Each band is working on difficult competition and contest music and we want to ensure that the students are as successful as possible at UIL and beyond.
Pre-UIL Concert & Sight-Reading Concert
All of the Concert Bands (Symphonic Winds, Concert Band I & II) have been working hard on their competition pieces since January. As we come closer to our competition season, we would like to invite all of the friends and family of the program to our Pre-UIL concert coming up on Wednesday, March 6th at the Rock Hill High School Auditorium. Attendees are welcome to watch the on-stage performance and watch the sight-reading process. The performance schedule is below. A detailed itinerary was passed out this week. Students will need to arrive at Rock Hill 30 minutes before their designated warm-up time.
Early Spring Social at Main Event for all Rogers Band

Symphonic Winds Recording Date at RHHS
Symphonic Winds will be traveling to Rock Hill during the day on Tuesday March 5th to record 2 of our contest pieces. This is to continue building a portfolio of music recordings and accomplishments that can be submit to various local and national contests and festivals. Our kids work so hard and we want to make sure their efforts get the recognition they deserve. No special attire is needed, just a Rogers Band shirt. We want to keep our concert black clean and fresh for Pre-UIL on evening of 3/6. Itinerary will be handed out next week. Itinerary for the day.
Beginner 4th 9-weeks Project
All of our beginners are starting to work on their BIG 4th 9-weeks pass-off project. They are working to pass-off major scales and also lines out of the book. With each scale passed off, they will receive a different colored bead to display how far they are getting. We will also keep track with a sticker/pass-off chart. This a great project that students can move at their own pace.
