A message from our athletic director, Coach Music:

Little Illini Basketball Conference - 2020 LIC Pep Band

Congratulations to those that were selected to participate in the LIC Pep Band Conference on Saturday, January 25th, 2020! You may find the roster of participating students listed below, as well as the assignments for the LIC Pep Bands.

The LIC Conference is held at Paris High School this year. Rehearsal begins at 1:00 p.m. The call-time for that day is 10:00 am in the RCHS rehearsal hall. Buses arrive at 10:00 am at RCHS exit 21.  We depart for Paris, IL at 10:10 am. Lunch is at the Paris McDonald's when we pull into town, so please bring money or a sack lunch. We arrive at the host school no later than 12:45 pm. Rehearsals begin at 1 pm.

Band 1 & Band 2 perform before games and during all breaks. Pizza & drinks are provided between 5:00 and 5:30 p.m at no cost to the students. Concessions is also available, for those that wish to bring cash.

Performance attire:
  • Jeans
  • Tennis shoes with socks
  • Department shirt
  • Basketball band jersey (unless all have a department shirt)

Required items:
  • Instrument
  • Valve oil or slide grease

Rehearsal locations:
Band 1 (stage)
Band 2 (band room)


Each band will perform before and at half-time of two games:
Band 1 will play the first and 3rd games.

Historically, the game times are as follows (take with a grain of salt):
Game 1 = 3pm
Game 2 = 4:30pm
Game 3 = 6pm
Game 4 = 7:30pm

I anticipate a return time to Richland County High School at around 11pm.

Basketball Band Roster & Schedule Over Break

12/18/2018

Basketball Band Rosters & Schedule for 1/3, 1/4, & 1/5

After consulting with Mr. Wheeler & Mr. Anselment, I have decided to cancel the band performances for the January 3rd, and January 5th games. I have also talked to Mr. Weitkamp about a potential performance for select choir students to perform the national anthem during those games.

The band performs on Friday, January 4th for the Marshall vs. RCHS basketball game at Richland County High School. This is now a combined performance between the Orange and Black Bands. Please contact Mr. Jones at cjones@rccu1.net or via Remind101 should you have an unavoidable conflict with January 4th.

The reason for combining the bands for the January 4th game, and removing the bands' participation for the January 3rd and 5th games is to allow the students more time to enjoy the winter break. The band performs with the dance teams at boys basketball games. The dance team is performing on the January 4th, which is why the band is performing on January 4th.

Please feel free to contact me should you have any questions.
