			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div>The First Annual Roxbury Bands Golf Outing will take place on Monday, July 16, 2012 with a 9:00 am tee time.  Registration and Sponsorship forms are available for download at the bottom of this page.A picturesque landscape of meadows and mountain views await you!  Come out and enjoy a day on the green at the Black Oak Golf Club in Long Valley, nestled amongst the hills of Morris County.  This 18-hole, 7,100 yard, par 72 golf course sits on 300+ acres within a private woodland setting, a perfect blend of nature and thoughtful course design.  Lakes and streams create a serene setting and are incorporated to provide diverse shot values throughout the links.  Whether you are a beginner or an experienced player, this course offers a truly magnificent experience for all.  Forget the hustle and bustle of daily life against a scenic backdrop conveniently located only minutes from Route 206 and Chester, NJ.</p>
<p>The cost of the event includes breakfast, green fees, golf cart, lunch and two drink tickets.  Early Bird special pricing applies if registration and payment is received by June 16, 2012.  The fee for a single player is $175 (Early Bird Special is $150/golfer).  Additional savings are available if registering as a foursome!  The regular foursome price is $155 per golfer (Early Bird Special is $135/golfer).  Download registration form at bottom of this page.</p>
<p>For added excitement, a variety of contests and competitions will held throughout the event. Not ready to compete in a golfing activity but want a chance at winning a prize? No worries &#8211; a 50/50 raffle will also be offered.</p>
<p>Proceeds from this event will benefit the Roxbury High School Instrumental Music Department, one of the most accomplished music programs in the State of New Jersey.  The dedicated staff, talented musicians in their own right, are committed to providing their students with unparalleled instructional support in all aspects of performance and musical theory.  A Vertical Team approach is employed by which the teachers in different grade levels work collaboratively to develop and nurture their students&#8217; potential.  This offers continuity from grade to grade for the students, instilling a life-long love of music and engendering a strong work ethic.</p>
<p>Fundraising efforts help defray costs of the various activities in which the award winning instrumental ensembles participate.  The Marching Gaels, one of the most competitive high school marching bands in NJ, finished 2nd in its class and made the final top 10 out of 25 bands in the Bands of America Regional Competition at Towson University, Maryland this past season.  The RHS Honors Wind Symphony recently traveled to Indianapolis, Indiana to perform at the National Concert Band Festival as the only group invited from NJ to take part in this prestigious event.  Earlier this school year, the RHS Symphony Band had the honor of performing at Carnegie Hall in a historic concert.  Additionally, this Spring, the 9th Grade Concert Band will be premiering a full symphonic arrangement, written and conducted by one of the many visiting professional musicians who have been involved with the Roxbury High School Instrumental Music Program over the years.</p>
<p>The Roxbury HS Band Parents Association, organizers of this event, sponsors scholarships awarded to students continuing their music education.  The RHSBPA also provides year-round support to the entire High School Instrumental Music Program, insuring that every child, including special needs students, has an equal opportunity to pursue music as part of their high school education.</p>
<p>Corporate and individual sponsorship opportunities are available at a variety of levels (download sponsorship form at bottom of this page).  Thank you in advance for supporting the current and future students participating in the Roxbury High School Instrumental Music Department!<br />

Music for All is one of the nation’s largest and most influential organizations advocating in support of music education. The Festival comprises the National Concert Band Festival, Sandy Feldstein National Percussion Festival, Middle School National Music Festival and three national honor ensembles: the Honor Band of America, the Jazz Band of America and the Honor Orchestra of America.</p>
<p>This will be second time the Roxbury High School Honors Windy Symphony has performed at this prestigious event having performed in 2008. The Roxbury Band program is known for quality and excellence in all areas including a nationally recognized marching band, innovative concert band and chamber music program and an intensive guest artist and conductor program allowing students to work with the very best musical artists from around the country.  The RHS Honors Wind Symphony has performed at the 2008 Midwest Band and Orchestra Clinic, and world famous concert halls Carnegie Hall and Lincoln Center.</p>
<p>Twenty-six high school and middle school ensembles from across the nation were selected by recorded audition to perform in concert at the Festival, be evaluated by master music educators and participate in master classes and special events. Invited concert bands and percussion ensembles for the 2012 Festival come from Arizona, California, Colorado, Florida, Georgia, Illinois, Kentucky, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, Texas, Virginia and Washington.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Congratulations to Roxbury Township for being selected as one of the 100 best communities for young people. Throughout the past three years, Roxbury has received $504,500 in grants, which has been used to fund after school programs and recreational facilities. Roxbury&#8217;s largest collaborative project, Imagination Station, received $20,000 in donations and brought together more than 1,500 volunteers to rebuild a 19-year old playground.  Because young people are a priority in the city of Roxbury, adults and mentors encourage youth leadership skills development through community service projects. More than 200 programs serve 2,000 children through this initiative. The school district now graduates 94.4 percent of students, and this 2011 recognition marks an exciting first win for Roxbury.</p>
