Due to the outbreak of the COVID-19 virus within the continental United States of America, IHSA has cancelled the 2020 Organizational Contest throughout the state on April 18th, 2020.

Parents, guardians, & students, you are invited to attend an informational meeting regarding the 2020 season of the RCHS Marching Tigers, and The Music Shoppe Step-Up Night. The meeting takes place at Richland County Middle School on Monday, March 30th. Parking is available next to the tennis courts.

The Richland / Music Shoppe Instrument Step-Up display will occur in the middle school band room from 6-8pm. For a list of recommended upgrades, please visit https://www.rchsbands.net/recommended-instruments-mouthpieces--reeds.html. www.rchsbands.net/recommended-instruments-mouthpieces--reeds.html. This event will feature intermediate and professional instruments and equipment that will help the students advance further than what a beginner instrument is capable. Attendance for this event is not required, but is highly recommended! This event is open to any band parent/guardian and students from throughout Southeastern Illinois. The flyer may be found at the bottom of this post.

The 2020 Marching Band season information is in the middle school choir room from 7-8 pm. St. Joe, RCMS, & RCHS grades 8-11 students and guardians that are enrolling in the Marching Tigers are expected to attend. We will discuss the 2020 show concept, introduce the staff, discuss class fees, fundraisers, resources, equipment, department uniform purchases, and the season schedule.

The performance calendar, sheet music, drill, & coordinates will be updated over the summer. Those on Remind101 will receive a notification when more details are posted.
