Ross High School Band members make district Honor Band
Five Ross High School students auditioned and will be accepted in the Ohio Music Education Association’s District 13 Honor Band, comprised of members from districts throughout southwestern Ohio.
“It is highly competitive since many of the schools have many more students in their bands than we do. I am very pleased to have five students selected - normally we have one or two,” said RHS Band Director Richard Roemer
The selected students from RHS include oboist Sarah Walker and percussionists John Dougherty, Eric Henngeler, Zach Wurzelbacher and Josh Koons.

TweetBadin, HHS Foundation basketball raised more than $3,000 for charity
Christmas just got a lot better for area families in need thanks to the annual Foundation boys’ basketball game between Badin and Hamilton high schools on Saturday, Nov. 26.
The game at Badin raised $3,102, all of which will go toward local charities.
“This was a wonderful example of young people in our community coming together for a common cause,” Badin Athletic Director Sally Kocher said. “People came out to watch the basketball games, and at the same time were supporting a valuable project.”
The Ohio High School Athletic Association allows high schools to play one “preview” basketball game for charity. Rose Automotive and First Financial Bank sponsored the event, which was held at Badin High School.
Five officials worked the games - they were contested at the freshman, reserve and varsity levels - and all donated their fees back to the event.
The Badin and Hamilton boys’ basketball teams were each given $500 to purchase coats and toys for the Santa Shop program operated by Mercy Franciscan at St. Raphael in Hamilton. An additional $102 will be used to purchase more coats.
The Student Council organizations at Badin and Hamilton were given $1,000 each to purchase Christmas gifts for needy families through the Butler County Adopt-a-Family program.
