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.

1st Annual BAND CAMP!

The Reagan High School Band under the direction of Adam Murphy and Nicholas Johnson are kicking off the school year with our first-ever Reagan Band Camp! 30 students have spent the week learning new repertoire, mastering marching steps and building community before the school year begins!
