Ridgewood NJ, the RHS Marching Band is reaching new heights! Fresh off a National Championship victory, our program has been promoted to Open Class competition—a huge achievement! But with this growth comes new challenges, and we need your help to take our band to the next level.
Our Goal: $50,000 for a Second Band Truck
✅ Already Raised: $25,000
🎯 Still Needed: $25,000 (Every dollar you donate will be matched!)
Why Do We Need Another Band Truck?
🎵 Our band is bigger than ever, with more instruments, equipment, and props—one truck simply isn’t enough!
🚛 We’ve rented a second truck every year since 2015—it’s time to own one and cut rental costs.
🎶 This is an investment in the future of RHS Marching Band, ensuring generations of students continue making incredible music.

You’re telling me that the Board of Education doesn’t have enough money to replace a vehicle. Well instead of buying it maybe just lease it or rent it it’s not used that much.
Maybe someone could just ask daddy, and they could drive it off the lot this afternoon.
So the BOE gives $80k to install lights on a non BOE field and turns its back on the RHS Matching band ‘s need for $25k?
The RHS band is one of the largest groups at the HS. They are a model of self sufficiency and resilience as shown by their fund raising and results both on the field and off after HS graduation. Please consider donating $5 to help this amazing organization.
Oh give us a break. Funny how everyone around here despises welfare until its their turn for a free lunch.
How about this…
Drop DEI and Transgender Indoctrination from the curriculum and then I’ll consider giving money to the school.
I agree! No $$ to schools until DEI indoctrination is eliminated from the district. And the evidence of it is clear.
Why! Fleecing the taxpayers! $19.95/ day Uhaul! How often is it used! Same at Westwood High School! Why! Every state and town should have a DOGE!
BOE gave $$ for lighting on a village field, not even BOE field. Why isn’t this need getting same attention?
That’s because they all sleep in the same bed together. And isn’t it funny how the board of education on some of their vehicles has MG plates, when they shouldn’t, the Board of Education has big problems, when they got rid of all of the cafeteria workers, the custodians, the bus drivers, The workers that worked outside doing maintenance, that whole entity went to shit
Spending ridiculous amounts of money on sports fields has its consequences. Village and BOE need a DOGE.
There is so much wasted money at the BOE
