Dear Riverdale Band Student or Parent Alumnus:
Greetings from the Riverdale High School Warrior Band and Band Boosters!
As you may or may not have heard, Riverdale High School has just undergone a long
awaited renovation which included the Band Room. This is the first addition to the band
area in the nearly thirty-six year history of the school! We are very excited and proud of our
new home which includes an acoustically designed ensemble room, percussion room, locker
room, band office, library, and four private practice rooms. Our students have been anxious
to get started this year and put these new areas to good use!
The current band booster organization felt this would be a good time to invite Riverdale
Band alumni (both students and/or parents) to an open house to tour and see our new
facilities. We would like to host you at a cook-out before the Riverdale Warrior home football
game against the Dickson County Cougars on Friday, September 26th, at 6:00 P.M.!
There has been interest expressed in organizing an alumni group to work closely with the
band booster organization in areas such as scholarships, publicity, corporate sponsorships,
and fundraising. This would include an alumni link on the band website for alumni news and
band updates to help our alumni who are even many miles away keep in contact. With that
in mind, we have enclosed a form to fill out and return if you are interested in participating.
There is also a place to R.S.V.P. for the cook-out. We hope this will be the first of many
RHS Band alumni gatherings!
As with any renovation, there are needs that are not met through the initial funding phase.
The attached "Wish List" includes some of the items the Riverdale Band drastically needs to
be able to continue to excel musically. If you are unable to participate in the alumni
organization or would just like to help your alma mater out, please consider filling out the
enclosed form with a tax-deductible donation or pick from one of the listed items.
We look forward to meeting you and renewing old friendships at the first annual Riverdale
Band Alumni Cook-Out/Open House. Please make plans now to attend and tour the new
facilities, share some good food and band stories with old friends, and watch the 2008-2009
Riverdale High School Warrior Band perform their show at halftime! Go Warriors!!
Sincerely,
Keith Patrick, President Annette Picklesimer
