About the Bands
This year at Roosevelt we're proud to offer one advanced/intermediate band, one marching band, and three beginning bands. Each band meets for one period each day, 5 days per week.

How can I join the band?
All students enrolled at Roosevelt HS are encouraged to sign up for band! Just talk to your counselor/advisor when signing up for classes, and let them know that you want to join. No experience necessary! We teach you everything you need to know to succeed in band.
Do I have to buy my own instrument?
No! Roosevelt owns a collection of well-maintained band instruments for student use. Students are assigned a school instrument, which they use in class and are able to sign out to take home for practice and impromptu performances.
Can I be in band and sports/honors classes/other activities?
Yes! Bands meet during the day just like any other class, so it doesn't conflict with after school practices, games, or activities. There are multiple periods of band available each day, so you should have no problem scheduling both honors classes and music classes.
Can I see the Roosevelt HS Bands Student Handbook?
Yes, here you go!
