Swing Into Summer at the First Annual Roxbury Bands Golf Outing

The First Annual Roxbury Bands Golf Outing will take place on Monday, July 16, 2012 with a 9:00 am tee time. A picturesque landscape of meadows and mountain views await you! Come out and enjoy a day on the green at the Black Oak Golf Club in Long Valley, nestled amongst the hills of Morris County. This 18-hole, 7,100 yard, par 72 golf course sits on 300+ acres within a private woodland setting, a perfect blend of nature and thoughtful course design. Lakes and streams create a serene setting and are incorporated to provide diverse shot values throughout the links. Whether you are a beginner or an experienced player, this course offers a truly magnificent experience for all. Forget the hustle and bustle of daily life against a scenic backdrop conveniently located only minutes from Route 206 and Chester, NJ.

For added excitement, contests will be held during the outing. Additionally, a putting competition at $5 for 1 or $10 for 3 as well as Mulligans will be available for purchase during the registration period prior to tee time. Not ready to compete in a golfing activity but want a chance at winning a prize? No worries – a 50/50 raffle will be offered.

Proceeds from this event will benefit the Roxbury High School Instrumental Music Department, one of the most accomplished music programs in the State of New Jersey. The dedicated staff, talented musicians in their own right, are committed to providing their students with unparalleled instructional support in all aspects of performance and musical theory. A Vertical Team approach is employed by which the teachers in different grade levels work collaboratively to develop and nurture their students’ potential. This offers continuity from grade to grade for the students, instilling a life-long love of music and engendering a strong work ethic.

Fundraising efforts help defray costs of the various activities in which the award winning instrumental ensembles participate. The Marching Gaels, one of the most competitive high school marching bands in NJ, finished 2nd in its class and made the final top 10 out of 25 bands in the Bands of America Regional Competition at Towson University, Maryland this past season. The RHS Honors Wind Symphony recently traveled to Indianapolis, Indiana to perform at the National Concert Band Festival as the only group invited from NJ to take part in this prestigious event. Earlier this school year, the RHS Symphony Band had the honor of performing at Carnegie Hall in a historic concert. Additionally, this Spring, the 9th Grade Concert Band will be premiering a full symphonic arrangement, written and conducted by one of the many visiting professional musicians who have been involved with the Roxbury High School Instrumental Music Program over the years.

The Roxbury HS Band Parents Association, organizers of this event, sponsors scholarships awarded to students continuing their music education. The RHSBPA also provides year-round support to the entire High School Instrumental Music Program, insuring that every child, including special needs students, has an equal opportunity to pursue music as part of their high school education.
