Rutland Halloween Parade Update
Based on the amount of positive responses, we WILL be taking a band of 7-12 grade students to perform in the Rutland Halloween Parade. The parade will be Oct. 25 at 6:30pm and the rain date is the next day should it be needed. Commitment/Permission slips will be sent out soon to finalize our roster for the parade. While it's not a required event for 7-12, it would be great to see as many students come out as possible! A little Halloween fun a little bit early!
Thank You!
A huge Thank You goes out to everyone who helped make our fundraiser at the Forward Festival a huge success! How about Cat Scratch Fever bringing the house down! You guys rocked!!! Pictures are up on the Photos page!
Winooski Festival
High School musicians interested in auditioning for Band or Chorus, recorded auditions are due by Oct. 1. Please see the Festivals tab on the website for more information. Ms. Finch has an interest form online and Mr. Hilkert has the audition scales posted on the wall by the music office. Please see them for help and/or more information!
We have asked about those who want to audition for both band and chorus and it is ENCOURAGED! It's better to have all your bases covered! If you would be accepted to both, you would obviously need to commit to 1 ensemble.
Forward Festival
We are still in need of students/parents/guardians who are willing to make baked goods for the Music Booster stand at the festival. Likewise, we are looking for volunteers to help with selling items during the festival on Sept. 20th. Please email Ms. Finch if you would like to help!
WRVHS Fall Showcase Concert
The WRVHS Fall Showcase Concert is quickly approaching! As it is part of the open house, we hope to see everyone come out and support the music ensembles! The chorus, band and jazz band will all take part in the concert! HS musicians call time is 6:30pm and the concert is at 7.
Rutland Halloween Parade
The WRVHS Wildcat Marching Band is registered for the Rutland Halloween Parade on October 25, 2025. We hope to have a definitive answer by our concert on October 1 for participating in the parade.
