At Ralston Valley we have about 2/3 of the student population in the music department. We currently have three orchestras, two concert bands, two jazz bands, a competitive marching band, guitar class and offer AP theory. The choral part of our program is just as thriving. With three auditioned groups, a women's choir, and men's choir. Our school is currently coming up on the 20 year mark, and much of our equipment is just as old. The wear and tear on it, is starting to take its toll. Our school budget is not able to take care of some of the items that just are necessary to make a program of our size run effectively. Our students are extremely passionate about music, and make due with what we have. As we grow, however, it is becoming more and more important that we are able to give our students the resources that they need to be successful. Thank you for making music with us!!
