  • Spring Marching Band is available to all current 8th grade students, as well as any high school musicians who might like to 'try out' Marching Band.
  • This year the High School seniors are also invited to participate.
  • Rehearsals run thru the month of May, and cumulate with a parade.
  • This is a great way to see what Marching Band is all about.

Dress:
  • Black or very dark pants and shirt. ROPA spirit wear or NFHS gear is also permitted (especially if it is chilly).

Audience: 
  • Because this is an outdoor venue, we are permitted to have a small live audience. 
  • Audience members should plan to bring a lawn chair in order to sit socially distanced in the designated area of the parking lot. 
  • Alternatively, audience members may park behind the audience area and listen from their vehicles.
  • We ask that the audience for the first concert leave promptly at the conclusion of the first concert to make room for the audience for the second concert.

COVID Screening Form for Students: 
  • All students must fill out the ROPA After School COVID Screener for the concert before arriving. The link is provided here and also in their class Canvas Announcements (sometimes links don’t work through MiStar).
