Rancho RoundUp

Our 22nd Annual Premier Field Tournament is less than two weeks away! Join us at Rancho Buena Vista High School on Saturday, November 14, from 11:30 a.m. to 9:30 p.m., as we welcome 24 marching bands and color guards from across Southern California.

Come experience the music, creativity, and dedication of more than 2,500 student performers! This is the final tournament of the regular season before the top bands advance to championships.

We invite all RBV families to enjoy an exciting day of performances—and be sure to cheer on our own Rhythm of the Ranch Marching Band and Color Guard at 6:15 p.m. We hope to see you there!

At its heart, it's a story about technology, humanity, connection, and the world we're creating. In a moment when we all have strong feelings about AI and the direction of the world, our students have taken on those questions and found an argument worth exploring. It's topical, it's timely, and it's a piece that will hopefully leave you with something to talk about!

Performances are 12, and 13 at 7:00 PM in the PAC

• Attend a Start Smart driving safety class. Other class dates and locations are included in the flyer and registration form below. (This can be completed ahead of receiving a driver’s license)
