Good Evening! Here are this week's announcements. Middle School: https://rcsmiddle.my.canva.site/bulldogsbulletin High School: https://rcs-high-school.my.canva.site/

Our high school band performed at the Walmart Grand Reopening this morning! The band performed 4 songs for an audience of Walmart employees, customers, families and other community members. The audience even participated in the band's performance of Y.M.C.A. It was all a great success and we are happy to have opportunities like these to be a part of the community! #BulldogProud

Auditions for this fall's production of "Sister Act Jr" will be on September 9th and 10th with callbacks on the 11th from 3:00-5:30 p.m. For auditions, you will be singing with a group and doing a cold read (which means reading from a script you have never seen before). If you are interested in a role that sings a solo in the show, you will stay and sing part of a song of your choice that shows off your voice. It does not have to be from Sister Act (in fact, we would prefer it isn't). Audition forms will be in Ms. Jones' room and should be filled out to be returned to Ms. Jones before or at auditions. If you have any questions, you can email Ms. Jones at jonesja@roxborocommunityschool.org.
