Ross County Summer Youth Band
Summer 2024
The Ross County Band Directors Association is proud to restart our unique opportunity for our younger students over the summer break! The Ross County Summer Youth Band is an ensemble that consists of eager, young musicians who enjoy playing music, but are looking for a summer band opportunity.
The Ross County Summer Youth Band is open to all students in the county from any of the eight school districts (Adena, Chillicothe, Huntington, Paint Valley, Ross County Christian Academy, Southeastern, Unioto, and Zane Trace) that will be going into the 6th - 8th Grades in the 2024-2025 school year. All students participating in the youth band must have had one full year of instrumental instruction from their respective school district in order to participate in the group (i.e., if your program starts in fifth grade, you can join as a rising sixth grader; if your program starts in the sixth grade, you can join as a rising seventh grader; etc.). Students of all ability levels are welcome to join, as the band does not require an audition for acceptance into the group!
Rehearsals will be held weekly at Chillicothe High School in the band room TBA. The rehearsals will be on TBA. Students should plan to eat dinner before arriving. Each rehearsal will have a theme for students to come dressed up! This is completely optional, but will make rehearsals fun! The final cultivation of the students’ work will be a performance at the TBA at the Bandstand in the middle of the fairgrounds.
A fee of $20.00 will be required of all participants in order to provide students with a Ross County Summer Youth Band T-shirt for the performance in August (Cash/Check payable to RCBDA). We hope that all students will consider joining this unique opportunity to strive to further their musical instruction, as well as service the community.
