Thank you to an Allstate volunteer for empowering people and our community. Jaime Viladiu gave his time and helped us to receive a $500 Allstate Foundation Helping Hands Grant.

Hello. I am so impressed with our Band's performance at the Wilmington Band Contest. We worked very hard on improving our music - balance, blend, awareness of your place in the ensemble, dynamics, timing, precision, etc, etc. And it paid off. One of the best parts of my job is when students learn that hard work and dedication are truly the secrets to life's challenges. As much as getting a superior rating at our very first contest would have been nice, it would not have taught the students the value of perseverance. So we can all sleep a little easier now, but trust me, we are not done with our show. Plenty of work ahead. See you at State! We scored a total of 82.160 points. This was up from Tipp City at 78.480. We earned superior ratings from both music judges, visual judge, color guard judge, and percussion judge. We earned excellent ratings from both general effect judges. - only one point away from each to get superior rating from them. We earned First place in class A. Which is very cool since we have one three first place trophies in a row now. We earned Best Color Guard. Two weeks in a row now. They are doing fabulous and the judges like their contributions to our theme. We earned Best Percussion. We have an extremely hard working percussion section. This was a great show for them. But if I know them, they are going to work even harder. We earned an overall Superior rating. This qualified us for Ohio State Marching Band Finals. This is Ross Band's 37th consecutive appearance at State. 1985 was our first appearance. State finals is held around the state over the course of two weekends. There are no first place, best guard, etc trophies. It is for ratings only. We will do our best to achieve the top rating of Superior. The contest date is assigned to us. Most likely, but not confirmed yet - this will be November 6. Not sure of the time. The venue will most likely be Piqua High School. It will NOT be Dayton Welcome stadium as in the past. That stadium is being renovated. This week is a busy one - but no band commitments on Saturday! Friday activities. - End of the 9 weeks. Check grades, some students have not turned in playing tests.! Pep rally during school. Homecoming parade -meet at school at 3:30 pm - many kids just stay after school. Parade steps off at 5 pm. New start location but same route basically. We assemble near Marathon gas station on Wade Mill road. We will take school buses there. We end our portion of the parade at Elda as usual. The rest of the parade continues on to Wade Mill road. I am interested to see how this new plan works. Hopefully even better that before! Booster sponsored Food trucks. These will be in the circle in front of RMS. Please eat here! Friday Football game- we will perform at halftime for the homecoming court activities. We typically don't play our show due to time restraints. Next week on Saturday we play at Turpin High School at 7:15 pm. I will send out schedule details next week. Next week also we have an indoor concert on Wednesday at 7pm. Oct. 19. Remember to join our zoom meeting THIS THURSDAY. Just being on the zoom meeting earns us money. https://scanmail.trustwave.com/?c=12185&d=-8q840TmbQcA9wD-nbJDeMP-0EsX7EKQxG2-JQZzMQ&s=10&u=https%3a%2f%2fus02web%2ezoom%2eus%2fj%2f87603684734 Have a great Homecoming week. The band is extremely busy. Thank you, Richard Roemer Ross High School Administration
