Message from Dr. Shaw:
We are lucky enough to have an upgraded system for the high school’s fire alarm system! However, this means the system will be down until Sunday evening and it is unsafe to have students in the building without a working system, so:
***NO DRUM CAMP for the rest of this week and SUMMER BAND CAMP WILL START MONDAY, NOT SUNDAY***-
and continue through Thursday from 6:30-9:30pm. This also means we lose a day of work so please do not miss and come prepared to work!
Our Tall Corn Band, Cheer, and Dance performance on Friday afternoon (4:30pm call time, 6:00pm starts the National Anthem, Fight Song, and then a few songs, then dismissed after things are put away), and the Tall Corn parade on Saturday morning (8am call time to pick up instruments at band room, 9am call at Methodist Church parking lot, performance starts 9:30-10am. Done, put away instruments and can leave when dismissed).
Thanks for your fluidity and Go Dawgs!
Its a great way to stay informed of your student's progress! Click the link for a short video of how to navigate the app.

Rossville High School Band 2026-2027!!! It’s time to get rolling again!
-Drum camp starts July 29th-31st from 6:30-8:30pm.
All high school students interested in playing percussion this year need to attend. (Junior High is not required but welcome if they want to come and sit in!)
-Summer band camp starts Sunday, August 2nd-6th from 6:30-9:30pm, plus Friday for Tall Corn/Bring Back the Dogs at the stadium (usually starts at 5pm and we will have call time at 4pm if that’s the case. All high school students interested in participating in band this year, to include percussion, need to attend! More to come once that time is set) AND Saturday morning to kick off the parade (usually call time is at 8:30 to grab instruments from band hall, 9am over on Main St and play music until the parade starts at 10am). Again I’ll pass times once the times are verified!

We will have our "Bring Back the Dawgs Night" on Thursday, August 27th this year.
