BAND BOOSTERS UPDATE
RHSBBA AT CITY COUNCIL MEETING
Our RHSBBA Co-President, Mr. Michael Dal Cerro, recently attended the Mayor and Council Meeting on August 31. (It was streamed over Facebook Live due to the City’s precautions with COVID-19.) Michael provided an update on M.A.R.C.H., our Spring fundraiser and the great success we had this year. We raised over $10,000 on Saturday, March 14. All of that money goes straight back into our band program to support our students!
M.A.R.C.H. — which stands for Musicians Acting with Responsibility, Compassion and Hard work — is an effort to bridge the gap between school funding for the band and the actual operating costs for the program.

Mayor Henry thanked our organization for all that we do in our community. She and all of the City Council members gave our band members and booster club a huge round of applause!
Note: If you want to listen, just jump ahead to the 47:10 mark for Michael’s remarks and the 52:15 mark for remarks by the Mayor and City Council.
