May 2004

 

Dear Colleague:

 

We would like to announce that the Twenty-Fourth Annual River City Roundup Parade will be held on Saturday, September 25, 2004. The parade will be held in downtown Omaha and is open to Iowa and Nebraska high school bands. There is no entry fee for the parade. As of August 1st, we will send out more information and you may visit our website at http://music.unomaha.edu/  for more information as well as online applications.

 

Enrollment will be limited to only 15 high school bands for the parade. Eligibility will be determined by the postmarked date, previous River City Roundup participation, band resume, and geographic location. Please note that bands wishing to participate in the Marching Band Field Exhibition at UNO must also participate in the River City Roundup Parade. Every year we are forced to turn away some bands that apply. Please complete your application carefully and observe the deadline of September 1, 2004.

 

MARCHING BAND FIELD EXHIBITION AT UNO

 

Again this year, we will host an exhibition for marching bands at UNO also on Saturday, September 25th. All bands accepted for the RCR Parade are eligible to participate in RCR exhibition. The Exhibition will be Saturday, September 25th. The Exhibition will begin around 5:30 PM after the UNO football game scheduled to start at 1pm. 

 

This is an excellent opportunity for your students to perform their competition show (or part of it) for critique in a non-threatening, positive atmosphere. Our parade judges and members of the University Bands staff will provide taped critiques and will clinic the ensemble, in person, following your performance. This exhibition is provided for participating bands at no charge by the River City Roundup and the University of Nebraska at Omaha.

 

Please contact us if you have any questions or need additional information. We look forward to seeing you in Omaha on September 25th.

 

Sincerely,
