RHS Band Rates No. 1

I'm proud to announce that the RHS Band has received its FOURTH consecutive Superior "1" Rating at State Band Contest. The band received 1-ratings from all three judges at Louisburg on Wednesday, April 10th, and were one of a total of only six 1-Rating bands that day. The students have worked incredibly hard this semester to prepare the music they did - Overture for Winds by Charles Carter, and With Each Sunset by Richard Saucedo.
