Student Track:

We look forward to 8th grade band students from across the WSFCS School System joining the award-winning Reagan High School Band of Raiders on the afternoon and evening of 9/20/2024.Students will have the opportunity to meet members of the Band of Raiders, watch rehearsal, tour the school, and have dinner with band. Following dinner, students will enjoy a mini-concert in the auditorium and will perform easy piece with the band. All students will receive t-shirt to wear for the night. Students will get the gameday experience and see what the band is all about.

Parent Track:

We offer a unique opportunity for parents to join us on 8th grade band night as well at Reagan High School! We will host parents beginning at 5:15pm with a complimentary catered meal in our auditorium while we have presentations for you about the school and band program. Speakers will include Robert Johnston (RHS Director of Bands), Brad Royal (RHS Principal), and others. The presentation will cover all areas of high school band, Reagan High School, and the advantages for students that participate in marching band throughout high school. Following dinner, the Band of Raiders will present a mini-concert in the auditorium, and the 8th grade students will perform one easy piece with the band. After the concert, all students will line up to march to the stadium at 6:30pm. Tickets to the game will be available for purchase at the parent dinner so parents can avoid ticket lines. 

Additional information will be sent out via email once your child is registered. Registration can be completed on the Band of Raiders website (www.bandofraiders.org) or by scanning the QR code on the flyer above.
