**FAMILY NIGHT - THIS Wednesday 6/3, 5-7:30pm.** Bring your instrument, friends, and family to come experience a marching band rehearsal! We will start in the auditorium for a presentation and move to rehearsal spaces. For all students, new and old! Try it before you buy it!
Marching Band is a full-year extracurricular ensemble that rehearses twice a week after school September through November and once a week after school May through June. The Marching Band represents BRRHS at home football games, parades, school events, and community events. We also have numerous get togethers and and band bonding events, and Marching Band is a great way to connect with others, build a community, and enhance your playing ability!
The Marching Band is open to all instruments and those who don't play an instrument!! You can also join our color guard (which spins flags and rifles) or join our percussion section!!
For the fall season (July - December) anybody from 8th-12th grade is allowed to join hornline, and 7th graders can join the percussion and guard. For the spring season (May - June) everybody in 7th-12th grade can join.
