Congratulations to Travis Ochko (11), Patrick Keleher (11), & William Luckett (12), our three representatives who auditioned for Colorado All State Choir in Grand Junction at the end of October!

We had a tremendously successful Holiday Harmonies Winter Concert on December 11th at The Orchard in Carbondale! Congratulations to all the performers of Women's Choir, Men's Choir, Guitar Class, CMS Choir, amazing soloists, and the RFHS Jazz Band! We had a full house and many community sponsors who supported our silent auction. Collectively we made $4,300 which will go toward important purchases for our department & students. Special thanks to the Vanderhoof Family Foundation who donated an additional $1,500. Happy Holidays to all of you and thank you for your generosity!!
