The Roswell High School Band has been invited to participate in the 2024 “Cabalgata de Reyes Magos” celebration in Madrid, Spain! The Madrid Cabalgata is an extravaganza with its parade route through the center of Madrid, and as the largest parade on the continent, it is televised live throughout Europe. In addition to this performance opportunity, our students will also get the chance to spend a day with school students in Madrid and play music together.
We will depart Hartsfield-Jackson Airport on January 1, 2024 and fly to Madrid, Spain. We will return home on January 8th.
Pricing for the trip is not finalized yet. We will be able to give final pricing once we are able to negotiate with the airlines. If you haven't already, complete this trip survey to help with planning.
We cannot wait to put our band program on an international stage!
OPINIONS NEEDED - COMPLETE THE SURVEY BELOW
With so many exciting things happening for the band in the upcoming year, we are looking into additional fundraising opportunities. We are exploring the possibility of a fundraising opportunity with Legends Hospitality/Ameris Ampitheater in Alpharetta. If we work at one of the concession stands at Ameris Ampitheater during a concert/event, RHSBBA will receive a percentage of sales as well as all tips earned (and we get to listen to a free concert)!
To help us plan, please take this 30-second survey by Wednesday 2/15. One survey per family, please.
Please note, we are not asking for commitment right now; we are gauging interest and availability to see if this is a viable fundraising option for us.

We will kick off the fundraiser in mid-February with a letter and email campaign to raise donations and close out our fundraiser by giving back to our great community with a day of service on Saturday, March 18th.
To prepare for this event we ask each band and guard family to do the following:
1)Save Saturday, March 18th from 8 am -1 pm on the calendar to ensure we have a big turnout for our day of service.
2)Begin to gather a list of at least 10 friends, family members, and neighbors you can reach out to for donations.
3)Watch for more details in the coming weeks!
