On Saturday, September 27th, multiple High school bands participated in the Washburn University Band Day. This was a great day for music education and for participating students to really get the feel for how playing in the band would be in college. Students participated in musical experiences with Washburn's musicians and clinicians, including masterclasses and concert opportunities.
RVHS band members who attended were: Sam Hickman, Cally Stephens, Tacin Taylor, Trystan Murata, Byokee Martinez, Addison Samek, Mac Nelson, Regan DeVader, and Rey Harris. They joined forces with the WU Marching Band and other high school musicians from across the area, performing together during both the pre-game and halftime shows. It was a memorable experience that allowed students to showcase their talents while being part of a much larger musical ensemble.
Great job, Panther Band!
