We Got a 1 at State!

/

Congratulations to the 2025 Ross Band of Class for their superior performance at the OMEA State Finals! What a performance and great way to end our marching season!  Superior ratings in Music, Visual, General Effect, Percussion, Color Guard - Overall Superior rating at State Finals.

A HUGE thank you to our parent volunteers.  Drivers, Chaperones, Equipment help, Nurse, the list goes on.  Thank you for Mrs. Pellegrino for her leadership on getting our parents organized.
Thanks to the Ziepfel's for use of their enclosed trailer this season.

Our directors are second to none.  Their dedication to this band is incredible.  I remember starting this job in 1996 (Stone Age) and having just a couple directors helping.

Today we have a staff of 5 percussion, 2 color guard, 1 woodwind, and 1 brass/assistant director. We are so fortunate to have a true dream team to teach our students.
