Good afternoon, RCHS Bands friends, family, and students.
On Monday, May 27th, a bugler and a quintet are performing at the Noble Memorial Day Ceremony. The Symphonic Band, the Honors Wind Ensemble, & the Color Guard are all performing at the Olney Memorial Day parade and ceremony. Here are the details regarding the Noble & Olney Memorial Day Parade Ceremonies: NOBLE: The Cornerstone Community Church and the Mayor of Noble hosts a Memorial Day ceremony at the cemetery in East Noble. In the event of rain, the ceremony will be held in the Cornerstone Community Church (160 E. Elm St. Noble, IL). Immediately after the Noble ceremony, the quintet and bugler will join the band at the Olney VFW. OLNEY: The VFW is hosting a Memorial Day parade and ceremony. The parade will begin at the Olney VFW. The ceremony will take place immediately after the conclusion of the parade at Haven Hill Cemetery (just north of the City Park). Drum majors Ethan Steber & Natalie Doan are directing. In the event of rain, the ceremony shall be held in the VFW hall. The uniform is department shirts & shorts, black socks, and Drillmasters. Students will also need flip folders, lyres, and instruments. The times are as follows: Cornerstone Community Church at the Cemetery in East Noble 8:30 AM: Call-time for bugler & quintet at RCHS 8:35 AM: Warm-up & run through music 9:05 AM: Bugler & saxophone quintet leaves for Noble Cemetery in a school van 9:30 AM: Bugler & saxophone quintet arrive at the cemetery in East Noble. 10:00 AM: Noble Ceremony (bugler & saxophone quintet only) IMMEDIATELY AFTER GOD BLESS AMERICA: Return to Olney and join the band at the Olney VFW. 9:30 AM: Call-time at RCHS (all but bugler & saxophone quintet) 10:15 AM: Load bus and depart for Olney VFW followed by Haven Hill Cemetery 10:30 AM: Parade line-up at the Olney VFW 10:45 AM: Parade step-off (parade begins) 11:00 AM: Olney Memorial Day ceremony at Haven Hill Cemetery. I anticipate the parade and the ceremony won't last longer than an hour and a half, which will put the band back at the school around 12-12:30 PM. The band is performing the following songs: TAPS (Noble ceremony only) God Bless America (Noble ceremony only) Hosts of Freedom Star Spangled Banner Army Navy Marines Coast Guard Air Force Merchant Marines Please bring water with you to this event. I encourage students to bring a water cooler. Coolers need to go on the bus. Please drink plenty of water! I know that this falls on Memorial Day weekend, falls during the summer, and many families will be out of town. That being said, we need as many RCHS Bands members to this performance as possible. All total, the combined Honors Wind Ensemble & Symphonic Band is around 45 students during the 4th term. We want to support the cities of Olney & Noble (and our veterans) that support us. Students, please make every effort to be at this event. It means a lot to this community. Please feel free to contact me should you have any questions, comments, or concerns.
The Olney, IL Christmas Parade is scheduled for Saturday, November 30th at 6:30 PM. The schedule for the combined Symphonic Band, Honors Wind Ensemble, and colorguard is as follows:
5:30 PM.............Meet at RCHS in holiday festive wear (no uniforms) & load 5:50 PM.............Walk from the school to parade line-up at the intersection of Scott St. & East St. 6:10 PM.............Set in parade block at parade location 6:30 PM.............Parade step-off 7:00 PM.............Estimated meet-up with buses near Eagleson's Car Dealership 7:15-7:30 PM....Estimated return to RCHS I recommend that all students layer up underneath to stay warm. Wear holiday related items, or at the very least wear lots of green and red!
UPDATED 11/10/19: The parade has been cancelled due to the cold. However, the ceremony has not been cancelled. Instead, the Veterans Day ceremony has been moved into the VWF Hall at 205 N Walnut St, Olney, IL. Due to limited space, the event coordinator has asked that we bring a smaller group. The following students will perform at the 2019 Olney Veterans Day ceremony at 11 am on Monday, November 11th: Abigail Atwood Adrian Bower Rylan Craig Josephine Donaldson Harrison Hahn Arianna Henby Madison Hinderliter Kali Hinterscher Jozalyn Houser Evan Irvin Braeden Jackson Kendra Jellison Dani Jinkins Alex Keys Taylor Klingler Bella Kocher Noah McCorvey Max MVicker Natalia Mendoza Taylor Meritt Mallory Miller Jacob Pampe Kyle Rennier Garbirel Rodriguez Jase Rusk John Slater Colleen Steber Sam Vaal Austin Vaughn Jake Wheeler Garrett Wright You are not expected to attend if your name is not on this list. The new call-time is 10:00 am. We will still perform in the full marching band uniform; however, you need not layer clothes since we are not performing outside. Those of you that are attending the Air Force Airlifter Brass Quintet & Percussion concert in Effingham, IL. The concert is indoors at the Effingham Performance Center, so the cold will not affect the performance. We will meet at 5 pm at the high school so that we may make a quick stop at Culver's in Effngham. The performance starts at 7 pm. I anticipate that we will return back to RCHS around 9:30 pm. The combined Symphonic Band, Honors Wind Ensemble, the cologuard performs in the Olney Veterans Day Parade scheduled for Monday, November 11th, 2019.
