March is Music in Our Schools Month and the RCMS bands have been active in representing our program!
All bands recently performed in our spring concert presented to the community. Honor Band students had the opportunity to attend a local jazz concert presented by the EIU Jazz Lab band. Three members performed at IGSMA Solo/Ensemble- Thomas Taylor and Cole Heath took home a good rating with their trombone duet and Gwen Chenault took home an excellent rating on her trombone solo. Several 6th grade band members represented RCMS at the ILMEA Elementary Band Festival hosted at Eastern Illinois University. This weekend, the Honor Band continues the momentum as they travel to Mt. Vernon for the IGSMA Organization Contest.
We're proud of our students' continued dedication and musical growth!
