Bridgewater Raritan High School Band
Announcements
2020/2021 School Year Concludes
We wish all of our band students and their families a wonderful, restful, and well deserved summer vacation! It has been a year unlike any other and we are grateful for the resilience of our community to make it through such challenging circumstances and to have accomplished all we were able to with our performing ensembles. We will see you in September (and some of you marchers a bit sooner!!)
2021 BRHS Marching Band
Students who have signed up to join the marching band should expect to keep tabs on the marching band google classroom page for pertinent updates and information throughout the summer, and especially as we near August.

Marching band students have been asked to start preparing for band camp. All students will need a binder, plastic sheet protectors, and members of the guard, battery, and wind sections will also need a dot book.

As more materials and information becomes available, it will be posted here and in the google classroom, so make sure to check back periodically for updates!
