RCHS MARCHING TIGERS


Performances/Events:
THE 2020 PERFORMANCES SCHEDULE HAS BEEN ALTERED TO ACCOMMODATE THE ILLINOIS HIGH SCHOOL ASSOCIATION (IHSA) AND THE ILLINOIS STATE BOARD OF EDUCATION (ISBE) GUIDELINES. THE MARCHING TIGERS WILL NOT PARTICIPATE IN COMPETITIONS THIS SEASON. 8TH GRADE NIGHT HAS ALSO BEEN CANCELLED. PARTICIPATION IN PARADES WILL BE DETERMINED AS WE APPROACH THE EVENTS.

The precautions were enacted by IHSA and ISBE for the 2020 season to help mitigate the spread of COVID-19. While we are disappointed that there are no competitions this season, this also gives us the opportunity to try new ideas, and by doing so have a bit of fun. Students, we will discuss this further at our first rehearsal. Despite all the changes this season, I think this season will be a lot of fun!
