Welcome to the RMS Band Page! My name is Kelly Saunders and I am the band director at Rugby Middle School! This is my third year at RMS and I am very excited to be a part of this wonderful school community. More detailed information about each grade level can be found in the tabs at the top of the site. Please feel free to email me if you have any questions or concerns! I look forward to a fantastic year of making music!
