The Olney, IL Christmas Parade is scheduled for Saturday, November 26th at 6:30 PM. The schedule for the combined Symphonic Band, Honors Wind Ensemble, and Color Guard is as follows:

5:30 PM.............Meet in the RCHS Music Department. Change into uniforms & load sousaphone and drum line cases into the small trailer.

5:55 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

6:15 PM.............Drum major steps off the parade block, band warm-up, and run through the parade tunes.

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. Color guard may wear any holiday garb. Winds & percussion will wear the marching band uniforms (don't forget your marching band shoes and black, crew socks!). Those wearing the marching band uniforms may string lights, tinsel, and wear a Santa's hat, elf hat, reindeer antlers, etc.

Reminder of the upcoming Veterans Day Parade & Ceremony and Booster Meeting

11/7/2022

 
Good morning, RCHS Bands friends, family, and students. My name is Christopher Jones, director of bands at RCHS inviting you to join us at the Olney Veterans Day Ceremony. Come join the Symphonic Band & Honors Wind Ensemble as we honor those that have served with a parade down Main St. at 10:40am, followed by a brief ceremony at the Veterans Monument outside the Richland County Court House at 11am. The call-time for students at the high school is 9:30am.

I also have a quick correction regarding the upcoming Olney Music Boosters meeting this week. The meeting is not this Tuesday. It is tonight at 6pm in the RCHS music commons off of the band room. I apologize for the confusion.

You may find more details under the Announcements/Itinerary section of www.rchsbands.net. Please feel free to contact me at cjones@rccu1.net or by phone at (618) 393-2191 ext. 3153 should you have any questions. Enjoy the rest of your day!
