Why Consider Marching Band?
Why consider joining the RamBand marching band?
Lots of reasons we can think of! Here are three:
Great Fun:
In recent years, the RamBand Marching Band was invited to
play at a campaign event for President Bush. In 2005, the
RamBand marched down Main Street USA in Walt Disney World.
In 2008, the marching band and concert bands went to Orlando
to perform at Universal Studios, SeaWorld, and at Cape
Kennedy. We anticipate taking the bands on another major
trip in 2010 to Disney World! The band played before a
Phillies game in 2006 and we’ll be there again on August 19,
2009! But really, students have just as much fun throughout
the year at parades, practice, and especially at football
games!
Great Experience: As you’ll learn, the
Central Dauphin High School Band Program is comprised of
bright, friendly, talented, and enthusiastic students. Our
band program consistently earns critical acclaim in all
areas of performance. More important than accolades,
however, participation in the Ram Band programs has been
instrumental in developing character traits such as
self-discipline, courage, self-confidence, integrity, and
teamwork in thousands of Central Dauphin students since
1955.
Great Start to High School:
Many freshmen parents have noted that participating in Band
Camp during the summer eases the transition from middle
school to our rather large high school. At Band Camp,
incoming freshman meet not only lots of other freshmen but
also lots of upperclassmen who become great sources of
advice and information. So, once school starts, your
freshman is ahead of those who haven’t met anybody yet and
have been the high school only at freshman orientation. The
marching band students are more comfortable starting from
day one.
Plus:
There are lots of other reasons to join: it’s a great way
to instill discipline, to keep busy, to get into football
games for free! Not convinced?

worth a thousand words!!
Join us for our freshman orientation meeting on Wednesday
June 3, 2009 at 7:30 pm in the CDHS Band Room. Plus, new for
this year, we’ll have three informal RamBand marching band
“mini-camp” days from 6:00 pm until 9:00 pm on June 8, 9,
and 10, then we’ll rehearse on most Tuesdays throughout the
summer from 6:00 pm until 9:00 pm. Questions about marching
band? Contact the CDHS Band Director, Mr. Matthew Ceresini
at
mceresini@cdschools.org or at
mrc@cdramband.org.
