Welcome to the home of the Ridgeline High School Band and Colorguard, including the Ridgeline Regiment marching band. We are also thrilled to host our flourishing strings program for both orchestras. This is your one stop shop for everything about the Falcon Band and Orchestra program including calendars, course offerings, and our growing media content. For now, we are holding orchestra program sites here until we work and grow both programs out.
Ridgeline High School will open in September 2021, and will be the home to a new comprehensive high school that serves the east side population of the Central Valley School District in Spokane Valley, WA.
Belonging doesn't require us to change who we are; it requires us to BE who we are.
Inspiration opens the door to our souls. Allow yourself to be inspired and watch your world open up!
