Rose Hill-Magnolia Elementary’s Bright Spot for 2025 is the school’s band program. The band currently has 64 students. Mr. Arp, Band Director, has received numerous grants to build the program from virtually the ground up in the past three years. Most recently, the band performed for the first time at SEDBA Music Performance Assessment, and 8th grader Anthony Vasquez became the first RHM student to perform at Honor Band, both held at UNC Pembroke.
Mr. Arp is immensely proud of his students, saying, “Our band students are hard-working, dedicated problem solvers who continue to show that they’re up to the task of being musicians. I have nothing but pride for my students, and I look forward to celebrating the accomplishments they will continue to achieve.”
