Funding Focus

Each year the RAHS Band Booster Club fund-raises for the entire band program to provide financial assistance for new instruments, new music, trip aid, guest musicians, and the list goes on. Throughout the past year, the Band boosters raised over $25,000! But just how far does that money go? The band directors have been fortunate enough to purchase this impressive list of instruments just within the last year: 3 flutes, a Vibraphone, a trombone, a piccolo, and a tuba. Also, funds helped with bussing, guest musicians, new music and more. Boosters is a non-profit organization, so all funds go to RAHS band expenses. ​
