Were you in Marching Band at Roosevelt? Remember what it was like to perform music with your band mates, and all the excitement you felt in the stands and on the field during half-time shows... especially at the East L.A. Classic? Do you ever miss it? Join the Rough Rider Alumni Band and you can re-live it all over again!
If you were a member in good standing of the Marching Band at Roosevelt for at least one full seasonand you graduated from RHS, you can become a member. At the moment we practice every other Tuesday at 7pm in the RHS Band Room and I encourage you to stop by, whether it's just to listen and watch or to actually join us.
We play classic marching band tunes from the early 80's, some college fight songs (especially those played by the USC Trojan Marching Band), as well as the pep tunes that everyone knows (Go Mighty Riders, So Proud To Be A Rider, RHS Tubas, etc...). We sound pretty good, but we can use additional trumpets, low brass, saxes, woodwinds, and percussion. Don't be shy to try, even if it has been 20+ years since you last picked up your instrument. It really IS just like riding a bike, and you won't believe how pleasantly nostalgic your experience will be the first time you walk into the band room after all these years. Help us to show the band of today what it's all about, and become a member of the Rough Rider Alumni Band!
For more information about our practice schedule, drop me a line at info@roughrideralumniband.org.
Go Mighty Riders!
