Beginner Full Band Rehearsal

It’s here!! All beginner band members need to attend a required full band rehearsal from 3:40 to 4:45pm on Monday, December 16th at Rogers.

Winter Concert – December 17th @ WGHS Auditorium

Get ready for a Winter Extravaganza in the Walnut Grove Auditorium featuring the Beginner Band in their first ever concert and the 3 performing bands of Concert Band II, Concert Band I, and Symphonic Winds. This is going to be a wonderful night of music featuring every Rogers Band student 6th – 8th grade. The concert will begin at 6:30pm. Call time for Beginning Band is 5:45pm, and SW/CBI/CBII is 6:10pm

In order to support All Rogers Band Performers, students are asked to stay for the entire concert

Locker Decorating Contest

Judging will take place 12/16. We are excited for our 5th annual band locker decorating contest. Students are already showing off their creative talents and making our band hall a little more festive. A winner will be announced at the Winter Concert

Band Final Exam

The final exam for all band students will be to show their teacher a clean instrument, case and band locker. Throughout the semester students accumulate a lot of debris from reeds, music, cleaning supplies etc. that needs to be organized. Keeping an instrument clean will help keep it in peak performing condition and make the instrument last longer. These will take place on block days next week.
