Festival of Bands Postponed!!

The decision has been made to cancel or postpone the RRISD Festival of Bands tonight because of weather. However, a collaborative decision will be made in the next couple of days regarding the possibility of rescheduling the event for November 4. We will keep you posted!

TX Ren Fest Field Trip

Students attending the Renaissance Festival Field Trip should report to front of the cafeteria between 6:30 and 6:45 am.  We will leave the school no later than 7am, and will not wait for those who are late.  Our first competition begins at 9:50!

Students should either wear a Renaissance costume or jeans and a Deerpark shirt.  Student should bring a bag with any necessary items.  I highly recommend students bring a jacket and an umbrella.  It will be cool in the morning and warm up through the day.  The forecast says it may be rainy in the morning as well.  The entire festival is outdoors, so come prepared!

We will leave the festival shortly after 4pm and be back to Deerpark by 7pm.

Students will have lunch tickets, but really should have additional money for snacks, rides, and souveneirs.  At least $20 is recommended, but if the student does not have $, they will still be able to enjoy the festival.
