Jazz in the Meadows
Our largest fundraising event of the year is "Jazz in the Meadows."
It's the
largest High School Jazz event/competition in the Midwest and takes place
in February
every year. Nearly 100 High School and
Junior High Jazz
Bands from all over the Midwest area come to play
and compete in nearly 120 performances. The day is filled with great music and clinics. Then at the end of the
day a featured Jazz group or Artist headlines the day with a Grand
Finale
performance. This is our single most important event of the year.
We ask that as a band parent; please help in anyway you can. There are
plenty of opportunities for YOU to help. Please contact
the Music Boosters to find
out how you can help. Whether it's all day or just a few hours we could
use your help. It's really a lot of fun.
Every other year the Music
Department plans a Spring Break trip where the
students and staff tour and perform in a major city. The
Music Boosters
sponsor
many different fundraisers throughout each year where
students can raise money to help off set some of the expenses they
will have to pay throughout the year. It's up to each
individual student to participate in as many fundraisers
to help build up their account. Also, money students
raise can be applied towards their music camps, uniform
cleaning, marching shoes, polo shirts or buying
performance CD's to name a few...
Other
Fundraisers...
In addition, there are also general fundraisers that help the overall Music
Department at Rolling Meadows that are not specific to an individual
student account. We are interested in hearing any new
fundraising ideas
where students can raise money to finance their
music camps and trips.
Students can check their balances posted near the band
room. For information and rules click on
