Thank you to all who came, donated, and supported the Ross Band Boosters at our annual Homecoming Chili Supper.

Thank you to all who have bought “split the pot” tickets and “quad raffle” tickets throughout this marching season.

Thank you to Linda & Lizzie Eschenbrenner for organizing the chili supper, Sharon & Tom Schweitzer for organizing Split the Pot, and to Mary Ann &

Richard Henninger for organizing the Quad Raffle. Finally, a very special thank you to all the countless volunteers who have

worked these very successful fundraisers. These fundraisers would not be possible without dedicated volunteers.

The RHS Band will be performing at State Marching

Band Finals on Nov. 10th @ Dayton’s Welcome Stadium.
