>The Ridgewood High School Marching Band is inviting the Ridgewood community to its first ever Mid-Season Showcase, a free exhibition performance, on Saturday, October 28, 2006, at 4:30 PM at the RHS football stadium. The band will present its award-winning show entitled “Southern Sketches,” which uses traditional American music, dance, motion, and colors to portray the story of Smalltown, America.
The band has had an excellent start to its competitive season so far with 1st, 5th, and 3rd place finishes at competitions in Somerville, Giants’ Stadium, and Hillsborough, respectively. It has also received awards for Best Music, Best Visual, Best Colorguard, and Best Percussion. Under the guidance of second year director James Garde,
the band will compete at the All-States’ Championship in Allentown, Pennsylvania the following week.
The RHS band program is one of Bergen County’s largest, composed of over 200 students who participate in more than a dozen ensembles. The curricular bands, Marching Band, Jazz Ensembles, Chamber Ensembles, Winter Colorguard and Twirlers are all recognized nationally, regionally, and locally for superior performance. Individually, members of the RHS Bands are chosen annually to perform in honor ensembles at the county, region and state levels.

>Let show these kids our support by being there on Saturday. It would really mean something to them to have the town rally around them and to see the bleachers packed with non band parents! These children work extremely hard and deserve for us to be there to support their efforts and achievments. It also would be nice to see the football team and cheerleaders in the stands if their schedule permits.
