The Marching Band at Rosemount High School is part of a comprehensive instrumental music program that includes five concert bands, two jazz ensembles, numerous small ensembles and a rigorous private lesson program. Several students from the Band program have been selected for membership in this year's Minnesota All-State Music Ensembles.
