Marching Band Notes, 10-11-07
1) Our uniforms are complete! The shoes and gloves arrived today. Students will try them on tonight to see how the complete uniform fits. The uniform will stay at RHS until tomorrow for the game.
Students who still need to pay for their shoes and gloves will be notified. Checks can be made payable to: RHS Music Boosters. Cash is also accepted.
If students are trading in shoes, their new shoes are $15.00. If a student lucks out and gets a used pair, they are also $15.00. New shoes are $25.00 and the gloves for everyone are $5.00.
2) Our first official game is Friday, October 12th. Students report IN UNIFORM to the music room by 6pm. The room will open at 5:45pm. Students may wear warm clothes underneath the uniform. They MUST wear a dark shirt underneath the jacket AND black socks.
Students should eat dinner BEFORE coming, as they will be restricted food & drink-wise while in uniform.
Students must remain for the entire game and sign out and leave uniform in the music room after the game to receive credit for the performance.
3) The Thursday, Nov. 1st rehearsal is moved to Friday, November 2nd from 3-6pm due to finals.
4) Our two competitions are set. We needed to move the first competition to November 10th at Napa due to the national SAT testing for seniors. A note to that effect went home on October 1st. The second competition is still Nov. 17th in Fairfield.
Once I receive our step off times I can issue permission slips. At this time I have reserved the busses from 6:30 am to 5pm. I do not anticipate we will need them that entire time.
The major portion of the cost of these events will be covered by the RHS music boosters, such as entry fees, color guard instructor, snack for breakfast and a hot lunch, and a portion of the bus cost.
There is a $10.00 fee per student per trip to defray bus and food costs. All students must ride the bus due to liability and it is standard for all bands to supply food for their marchers. Students with financial concerns, please see Mrs. Wilmer.
We welcome chaperons. We need at least 5 chaperons to help with uniforms, food and just to have fun watching and cheering on the group! If riding the bus, the cost is $10.00 per trip including food, $5.00 per trip for food if taking your own vehicle. Please indicate to your student if you are interested in being a chaperon.

Concert: A Great Success!
Sunday's concert with the Camellia Symphony was a great success! We'd like to thank everyone who participated: the sponsors, the musicians (both students and pros), the guest composers, our honored friends in uniform, the parents, and all of the people who simply came to enjoy the really wonderful music. And for those who weren't able to attend, there's good news! A recording of the performance will soon be available. Watch this space for news on how to order!
Robin Wilmer directed the first piece after the intermission. She loved it!

Starting another exciting new year!
The Rosemont High School Instrumental Music Program is composed of dedicated, enthusiastic, respectful musicians striving for the highest standards of musical and performance excellence. Individuals seeking admittance into this organization must leave all personality conflicts at the classroom door. Success is only accomplished by each member thinking and performing as a unit. The cohesiveness and unity of each group makes it unique in that individuals not only have the opportunity of generating their own excitement and enthusiasm, but developing and becoming a part of the entire group’s strengths and capabilities as well.
Being an active member of an instrumental music group is truly a unique and wonderfully inspiring educational experience. I’ve had many wonderful students who gained a great deal of self-respect and confidence for themselves personally. Let’s work hard to maintain and continue to build a tradition at Rosemont that earns the respect of our school and our community while having a lot of fun in the process! -- Robin Wilmer, Music Director

Drum Major Letter
Welcome to the 2007 Marching Band Season! This informational letter is to all RHS band students (and parents/guardians), whether or not they are currently enrolled in the marching band class. If you’ve not already made the commitment, we hope after finding out more about marching band, you’ll decide to join in on the fun. Performing at varsity home football games and most varsity home basketball games is a blast. We will play at some away games and one parade competition, as well. See the football schedule below.
This year marching band will be a fifth period class, which means class meets after school from 6:00-8:30PM two days a week from September 5, 2007 to November 14, 2007. From November 14, 2007 until January 25, 2008 class meets every Wednesday from 6:00 - 7:30PM for basketball season and middle school recruitment. This year students will receive 5 PE credits for marching band class. To graduate, each student must have 20 PE credits. If a student takes marching band all four years he/she will have satisfied the 20 credits of PE required. We chose to have marching band class as a fifth period so students can have flexibility with their core, honors, and elective classes such as concert band during the school day.
There will be a mandatory parent/guardian and student meeting August 8, 2007 in the Little Theater from 6:00-7:00PM. If you know anyone interested in being in marching band, including color guard, please invite them to attend. At this meeting we will introduce the staff, drum majors, leadership council, pass out the course handbook, which will include uniform contracts, set of dates, and marching information to create an understanding of what is expected from students and parents, and then open up for questions/concerns. If you have a conflict, please contact Mrs. Wilmer via e-mail (robinwilmer@gmail.com).
There is a mandatory marching band camp from August 13-17 at Rosemont High School from 10:30AM to 4:30PM each day. This time period was chosen to avoid conflicts with fall athletics. At camp we will pass out uniforms and instruments, teach the music and routines for the 2007 parade and fields shows, learn the pep band music, and tone up physically. See the reverse for our complete schedule for the 2007 marching band camp.
The hours for marching band camp this year are part of the overall class hours, allowing us to meet only once a week after marching season, so attendance at band camp is important. If you think you might have any conflicts attending camp, please contact Mrs. Wilmer. We have discussed possible conflicts with coaches and will work to make adjustments on both parts.
