RCHS band hosts fundraiser
The Rock Canyon High School (RCHS) Marching Band held a fundraiser last month, a mattress and massage chair sale. Students wore mattress costumes and stood outside the school to promote the sale.
Approximately $4,000 was raised that will go toward new instruments, repairing old instruments and the cost of travel to performances.
In his first year at RCHS, band director Trevor McClaine stated that he wants to provide a positive musical experience for the students as well build the program.
“One of the biggest things I have learned is how awesome these students are,” stated Trevor. “We are looking to get out into the community more, be it through jazz band performances, chamber music performances or even service projects in the area.”
RCHS parents will host a Kentucky Derby-themed fundraiser on May 4 to raise money for the Band Boosters featuring an afternoon of Southern cuisine and mint juleps, silent auction items, a wine pull, and other fun activities. Visit https://www.rockcanyonbands.org/fundraising.
