Welcome to the 2009-2010 edition of the Ranger Marching Band. This year promises to be full of excitement as we attempt to continue the traditions of excellence set forth by your predecessors. Summer band rehearsals are imperative to us as we prepare not only for our weekly football games, but our contests as well. All band students are expected to be at every rehearsal. Any unexcused absence will result in the loss of opportunity to earn one’s own marching spot in our contest show.
