Do you like playing your instrument? Do you want to play more challenging music? If so, consider being a part of Minnesota Junior Winds! This group rehearses on Sunday afternoons from 4:00-5:30 pm right here at RMS! This is an exceptional group that consists of other 7th-9th grade musicians from all over the Twin Cities.

The Minnesota Band Directors Association (MBDA) 6th-8th Grade Honor Band is an incredible experience for students that wish to push themselves to their highest level of musicianship. Students that are looking for that extra challenge should absolutely go for this AMAZING experience! Students will record an audition consisting of 3 scales and two etudes.

Music is available in the band office from any of the band directors. Auditions are recorded here at RMS at the end of November. If selected for this group, students will attend a weekend away at a school in Minnesota in mid-April. There will be a day full of rehearsal (and FUN!) and then a concert performance that same weekend. This year the MBDA 6th-8th Grade Honor Band weekend will be held at Edina HS on April 13th-14th, 2024.

8th Grade Band students from each District 196 middle school are selected to participate in an annual honor band in March. Students are selected by their band directors based on their lesson preparedness and performance, participation in extra-curricular opportunities, and their overall contribution to RMS Band.
This year this honor band will be held on Friday, March 8th at Eastview High School. There will be rehearsal throughout the day and a performance that same evening. We are lucky to have Dr. Peter Haberman join us as our guest conductor. Dr. Haberman is the Director of Bands at Concordia College (Moorhead, MN).
