Band--O-Rama is coming up soon. Here is information for this event. We will need 25 volunteers from RPI for this fantastic FUN-draiser!

What is Band-O-Rama?

Band-O-Rama is one of our largest fundraisers. It features performances from all of our bands in the entire band program (grades 5-12) including our winter guards. It is fast-paced, about an hour and a half long, and includes LIVE and SILENT auctions! In between the band songs, you can bid on some pretty cool items during the live auction. On the second floor of the Arena (big gym at HS), we will have many silent auction baskets for sale. These are not your “typical” baskets. They are elaborate with a ton of great items. Each basket is themed with many great items to bid on. It’s really quite spectacular!

Where/When is Band-O-Rama

Band-O-Rama is held in the High School Arena. The Arena is our large gymnasium. The concerts start at 2:30, and doors open for silent auction at 1:30. The event usually wraps up around 4:15.

What is the Admission Charge?

Band-O-Rama is a huge fundraiser, so we do have an admission charge for this event. admission prices will communicated at a later time with plenty of time to plan. Your performing students do not pay admission.

What can I do to help?

We will need at least 25 volunteers from RPI to make the event successful. Please click the link below to sign up or to receive more information on volunteering.

Please bring the whole family! The more people we have there, the more exciting the event for the kids. In previous years, we have filled the entire Home side of the Arena (upper and lower deck!). The Arena is handicap friendly with an elevator available!

What Does My Child Wear?

Students will wear their RPI Band Shirt and nice pants. We ask that students always look nice for band performances.

About Blue Lake:

Blue Lake Fine Arts Camp is a world-renowned summer camp for students who wish to enhance their experience in the fine arts. Your children will spend 11 days & 10 nights in an experience of a lifetime as they are immersed in a culture of music and the arts.

Most of our campers will want to sign up for Camp Bernstein, during sessions 3 or 4. Camp Bernstein has the most experienced staff working with our youngest campers to ensure a positive experience at this awesome camp!

Cost/Tuition:

Information about tuition can be found on the website below. Your students will have the opportunity to earn a Blue Lake Merit Scholarship that we will conduct at RP during the month of January. This scholarship will be sent to Blue Lake and will reduce the overall cost of camp. Blue Lake has an awesome Financial Aid program for families who qualify.

If you have any questions, please reach out to us!

Please make sure your kids sign up for our Google Classroom. The classroom will have links to recordings of our music for the year.
