Jazz Band Represents MPS at National School Choice Celebration

On Wednesday January 30th the Reagan Jazz Band performed for Governor Scott Walker, Mayor Tom Barrett, County Executive Chris Abele, State Superintendent Tony Evers, and MPS Superintendent Dr. Gregory Thornton at the National School Choice Whistle Stop Tour.  During his speech Dr. Thornton acknowledged Reagan High School as the #2 High School in the state of Wisconsin according to the US News and World Report. 

The Jazz Band was selected as the "house band" performing opening and closing music at the downtown Milwaukee Grain Exchange building.  They also performed a feature, "Jumpin' at the Woodside" by Count Bassie, during the ceremony.  Also representing Reagan High School were Principal Mike Reomer, members of YES "Youth Empowered in the Struggle," and yearbook photographer Liz K.  Congratulations to all for representing Milwaukee's public choice option with highest honors!

Milwaukee Holiday Parade Welcomes the Reagan High School Marching Band

The Reagan High School Marching Band made its first appearance at the Milwaukee Holiday Parade on November 19th 2011.  This televised downtown performance was a crowning achievement for the band that was formed only four months ago!  The students represented the school with tremendous pride and were glowing with excitement as they marched 75 members strong through the streets of Milwaukee.  Thankfully the weather cooperated and we made it back to Reagan in time for hot chocolate!  We look forward to making this parade an annual holiday tradition.
