Meet the Riders football game will be Sept. 15th! Football game will begin at 8:00 pm.

After the football game, young children are invited to meet the band. They will be given a t-shirt and some goodies and listen to a few songs as the stadium clears out.

This game will also have future rough riders (currently 8th grade band members) join them in the stands during the game! Anyone who is zoned for RHS is able to play.

School is back in session and the bands are up and running! We are thoroughly excited for this year and cannot wait to share the musical talent of your students with you at concerts! Please familiarize yourself with our website, especially if you are a new parent.

If you have not signed into your charms account yet, please do so. You will use your student's ID number (given from school), followed by the group code: rooseveltband . Then create a password and there you will see updated fundraisers, account balances, trip balances, etc. We are only using this as a platform for fundraised funds until the switch to CutTime is complete. Please be patient with us while this occurs. If you have questions, email directors.

Students renting a school instrument should have received a paper form from us and need to return it back as soon as possible. It is $70 for the year, unless you qualify for free/reduced lunch. Visit our website for more information.

Turn grocery shopping and gas purchasing into money for your band student's account. For every $100 in Hy-Vee Gift Cards purchased get $4.75 deposited into your band student's account.

Here's how it works:

1. Drop your order in the Hy-Vee box.* (Order forms can be found below).
