Elizabeth Schaefer Makes National Concert Band

Congratulations to Elizabeth Schaefer, a Senior at Rossville Jr/Sr High School, as she has been selected as a member of the 2021 NAFME ALL-NATIONAL Concert Band for flute. Only 9 high school flute students are selected to the All-National Band. This places Elizabeth as one of the top 9 high school flute players in the country.  She is also the first student from Rossville to ever be selected for this ensemble.

The process to get to Nationals started last May, 2020. She auditioned in November, 2020, and was selected as the 1st Chair Flute for the KMEA (Kansas Music Educators Association) Northeast District Honor Band.

With her selection to District, that qualified her to audition for All-State where she was selected 1st Chair flute in January 2021.

The All-State selection qualified her to audition for All-Nationals. She started preparing the audition music in June and submitted the audition in September.

Because of the continuing pandemic, the honor band to be held in San Diego has been canceled and will be held virtually this year, with rehearsals, sectionals, and other sessions taking place over zoom in January.

Corey Catron Leads Dawg Come-back Win

From the Capital-Journal:

 With Rossville (7-0) starting quarterback Torrey Horak standing on the sideline with his left arm in a sling and the Bulldogs trailing late in the third quarter on the road to their biggest rival, the No. 1 ranked and defending Class 2A champs found out exactly what they are made of Friday night in the latest installment of the War on 24.

Behind 116 yards rushing, 34 yards passing and two fourth quarter touchdowns from backup quarterback Corey Catron, Rossville answered the Eagles third quarter comeback to leave Silver Lake (5-2) with a 24-19 victory.

Pedro Arantes--First Year As A Kicker

From The Capital=Journal

 The War on 24 football game is one of Kansas’ most recognized rivalries, drawing attention beyond the state’s borders over the years. 

This year, even people in Brazil will take note. 

You may wonder why fans in the Rossville stands are waving Brazil flags and wearing “Vote for Pedro” T-shirts. It’s because the Bulldogs feature an exchange student from the South American nation as their kicker. 

Pedro Arantes had never kicked a football before August. He’d watched almost no American football on television. But once he learned the intricacies of booting a pigskin, as opposed to a soccer ball, he gained quite a following at his new high school.
