We are in the final days of our biggest annual fundraiser and we need every family to make one final push for donations. Currently, the total donations are shy of 50% for the overall goal of $15,000.
The RHS band day of service on April 15th was a huge success! Band students and parents joined together to take a moment and clean around the band room and trailer. It’s always great to take care of your own house!
Remember, you can still get donations if you weren't able to attend the work day, and we need everyone's help!
Spring mini-camps and summer practice sessions begin April 16th
Our 2025-2026 marching season will kick off on Wednesday, April 16th with our Spring mini-camps. These mini-camp sessions are open to all rising 7th-12th grade students who are interested in participating in Marching Band or Color Guard this fall. These sessions are a chance to see what Marching Band and Guard are all about and work on a few fundamentals. The mini-camp sessions will wrap up on April 30th with a parent and student meeting to get all the information to register for the upcoming season.
Percussion and Guard will have continued sessions through the summer to get extra skills practice. These sessions will allow students practice if they would like to try a new instrument or continue to develop on their current instrument so they are fresh for band camp in July. We encourage all percussion and guard students to attend as many sessions as they can over the Summer.
PARENT MEETING RE: MARCHING BAND WEDNESDAY 4/30
Do you have a kid who is interested in joining marching band this fall? If yes, please plan on joining us for a meeting on Wednesday April 30th from 6:30 pm - 7:30 pm. We will be sharing a lot of information for the upcoming fall marching season. Looking forward to seeing all the parents of our talented kids.

Ameris Concert Concessions
Parents - this is our single largest fundraising event every Summer. We need all of our Parents, older siblings and even friends of the family to sign up to volunteer to manage concessions at concerts at Ameris. You will get to hear some great live music, raise money for the band and also earn some credits toward your students band fees for 2025-2026.
The season kicks off on April 26th. We need volunteers ASAP for the April/May concerts so we can get a strong start to the season. The proceeds from Ameris ensure that we have funds for all the staff needed for Marching Band and the start of the school year.
BOARD POSITION AVAILABLE: VP of FUNDRAISING
There is still a position that need filling for this year’s booster board. Give the position a look below and reach out to Kristy Reiver or Amy Kingry at president@roswellband.com if you feel you can fill this need for the band.
VP of Fundraising:
Fundraising is critical to our band program. Fulton County Schools funds only about 30% of our program each year. Most of the funds we need to support additional class instruction, resources for marching band, indoor percussion and guard are funded by fees and donations received through our fundraising efforts. We need 1 or 2 parents who can take the lead on overseeing and growing these events. This is a position that can largely be managed from home but will require an hour or two each week to ensure success.
This board position would allow you to participate in the larger board voting and decision-making process and help drive the vision of the program as it continues to grow.
