Our Royal Rosarian Foundation's monthly Meeting -- all members are welcome to attend

Wanted to fill you all in on the direction we are heading in regards to the 2020 Festival! Once we are approved for Phase 2, we will be announcing that we will be having a 5-day Festival September 16-20, 2020 with a combo parade (youth and grand) on September 19^th. We will also have Food, Entertainment, Beer Garden, Luncheon, Golf Tournament, Arts and Crafts, and events downtown. We will be treating this announcement as a “Save the Date” and of course, we won’t hold this Festival unless we are in Phase 4. And please know that we are working closely with Public Health Officials and the City of Wenatchee and we won’t proceed with this unless approved!

With school wrapping up this week (congrats!!!!), we wanted to make sure you’d be interested as a Band/Float (Royalty) entry. Seniors will be heading to college around festival time, if not before, and we would love to have any graduating seniors who are still in the area to participate with the bands.

Now, we know that a major concern for band directors is the lack of a routine. We totally understand that!!! What we have in mind is just pep band music, absolutely no judging . . honestly just something fun for these students, and hopefully for you too.
