Concert Bands
At Roosevelt, we split our concert band participants into four groups--Symphony Band, Concert Band, Varsity Band, and Freshmen Band. With the exception of Freshmen Band, the ensembles are audition-based. Symphony Band is the top ranked band, who performs annually at the Washington Pavillion, along with groups from the Orchestra and Choir Department of the same caliber. There are three concerts performed at the RHS auditorium every year.
