The RBR has the opportunity to perform in a marching parade at Disneyland on January 20th, 2023. The RBR traditionally marches at Disneyland every year, and it is always a really fun trip. This year marks the RBR's return to Disneyland for the first time since 2019.
If you are reading this and are not in the RBR, that is because Mr. Miller has decided to open up this opportunity to those students that play a band instrument but couldn't participate in marching band this season. The cost of the trip is $155 per student. The payment and form is due Friday 11/18, but it can be turned in after the Thanksgiving break if you are just hearing about this and need a little more time.
STUDENTS, please fill out this Google form if you are interested in attending. Please read the letter below for ALL information pertinent to this trip. You can also make payment with the PayPal link below. Finally, please do not hesitate to contact Mr. Miller with any questions that you may have.
We finally get to resume this tradition for the first time in four years. Let's make it a memorable return and try to get as many kids as we can to join and make it as fun as possible. Hope to have you join us!

This year’s Band Fest will be held at Laguna Hills High School (map below) on Wednesday, November 2nd, 2022. Band Fest is the annual musical exhibition of the marching bands of Laguna Hills, El Toro, Mission Viejo, and Trabuco Hills High Schools. The bands of La Paz, Los Alisos, Rancho Santa Margarita, and Serrano Intermediate Schools will be joining their high school counterparts to watch and play as well.
This non-competitive performance showcase is designed to demonstrate the outstanding Instrumental Music program offerings of the Saddleback Valley Unified School District. This festival provides an opportunity for the ensembles to share their talents with friends, families, and peers in the SVUSD community.
District middle school student musicians will join the high school bands to perform the National Anthem, and will also help perform pep tunes in the stands. Band Fest is a lot of fun and a great recruiting opportunity for the RBR and ETHS Music Program. You won't want to miss these performances!
Volunteers - WE NEED YOUR HELP! We need all the help we can get. Volunteers, please sign up here.
Additional details are as follows:
  • Kids will be leaving for the festival straight from school.
  • We will be feeding the kids dinner and snacks. Burgers from In-N-Out Burger and veggie burgers (not from In-N-Out) will be provided, along chips, water, and other snacks for the kids to grab and take on the bus to eat. Please note: if your student does not eat beef, gluten, or has any food allergies you are concerned about, please have them notify the Drum Major of their special requests, or send them with something to eat. They will not be able to eat until after pick up time.
  • The event will begin at 6:30 PM. The Box Office will be open from 5:30 PM. Parents who are not volunteers who want to watch the show should plan to arrive no later than 6 PM. Wear your RBR spirit wear, or blue and gold, and come find us in the stands. Please bring your friends and family members as well, and let's make the ETHS Music section the largest one there!
  • Tickets for non-volunteers are for sale for $12. Purchase your tickets here.

This year's RBR Seniors will be honored at Friday's football game, along with their families.
Friday night will be a busy one for RBR, for tonight is the night we honor RBR Seniors! It's Senior Night at the football game. Parents, students, and family need to be at the football stadium prior to 7 PM. We will be hosting a ceremony for the seniors prior to the start of the game. Come out and support them, then stay for the game.
We need many parent volunteers: videographer and photographer are the most important for the ceremony (our usual photographer will be in the ceremony and cannot perform camera duty). We will also need prop and pit pushers for the halftime show, more than usual, for our very dedicated senior parents will not be able to assist due to their ceremony and leaving at the end of half-time with their seniors as they continue their celebration! Please sign-up for duties here.

The football game will be a pink out game in support of breast cancer research. Please wear pink if you want to show your support.
