2021-2022 Band Awards

Enjoy this video of pictures from our annual band Fun Day and Awards ceremony. The kids had a wonderful time. 


The students from Royal Jr. High as well as Royal High School were recognized and appreciated for the outstanding year that we had. We received superior ratings in Marching as well as Concert & Sight Reading. The Jr. High received a Sweepstakes and both schools sent numerous students to All-Region and All-Area band auditions and represented Royal very well. We also received superior ratings in solo and ensemble, with 5 students advancing to State. The Falcon Flare and Jazzette Dance Team also were awarded for all of their hard work and efforts and acknowledged for the accolades they received this year. Thanks for all that you do for RISD and the community, Royal Marching Sound Machine. We also wish all the seniors success in all of their future endeavors! It was a pleasure to have you all as students!
