Roaring Red Alumni Band:
The 3rd Annual Alumni Pep Band will perform on May 19th at the Charles J. Stephens Retirement Celebration. They say "third time is the charm," and that will be the case with this group. The pep band will perform a nearly 20-minute medley featuring over 50 marching band songs the Ram Band has performed between the years of 1983 and 2012. Sheet music and the rehearsal schedule can be found here. The sign-up sheet for this ensemble can be found on Facebook or fill out the form below.

Since 2006, the Waltrip Ram Band has featured an all-Alumni Jazz Band at the annual Holiday Concert in December. If you were a member of the Jazz Program (preferably Jazz #1) while you attended Waltrip, we'd love to have you join this special group of individuals. Whether you continue to play or you haven't played since you graduated from Waltrip, the Alumni band has a seat for you. All you have to do is show up.
The ensemble will be branching into two different ensembles for the Stephens Retirement concert. The idea is to have a "Battle of the Bands" - as an "Old School" ensemble comprised of alumni between the classes of 1984-1999 compete against the "New School" ensemble comprised of alumni between the classes of 2000-2011. The performance will surely be one of the highlights of the concert, especially during the grand finale when both groups combine to play "Footpath Cafe." If you'd like to be a part of one of these groups, sign up below. More information can be found at: http://www.waltripramband.org/retirement.html
To join, fill out the form below and you will be notified about all the details.
