6. JHROSEBand
The J.H. Rose Band Program includes curricular opportunities through the Concert Band,
Symphonic Band, Marching Rampants, and two Jazz Bands. Other opportunities through the
band program include Pep Band, Pit Orchestra, chamber ensembles, and the new iPad Band.
The central focus of the band program is the year-round Concert and Symphonic Bands. The
Concert Band is utilized as an ensemble to develop basic technique, increase individual
musicality, reinforce proper rehearsal habits, boost student confidence, instill independence,
and explore secondary instruments. Due to the work done through Concert Band, the
Symphonic Band is able to enjoy performing advanced literature with a high degree of
success (Grade VI Superior Ratings 10 of the past 12 years). Students from the Concert and
Symphonic Bands represent J.H. Rose every year at All-District and All-State Band events.
While the Marching Rampants are strictly an after-school group that only meets three days
per week, they are highly regarded as one of the strongest small marching bands in the state.
The Rose Band Program is a source of pride for the school and Greenville community.
The J.H. Rose Jazz Band-Blue performs more than 20 times per year as the more advanced of
the two full big bands at the school. Jazz Band has traditionally been a spring course that met
after school, however, two years ago it was moved to a yearlong “Early Bird” class that meets
for 45 minutes every day before school. With this move, the enrollment exploded and there
are now two bands (Blue and Green). In the first year of having two ensembles, both bands
received unanimous “Superior” ratings at the East Region Jazz MPA and J.H. Rose had eight
students represented at the Eastern All-Region Jazz Clinic, the most of any school in the region.
In addition to their performances for school concerts and events, the Jazz Band-Blue performs
frequently in the community for groups/events such as Pitt County Relay for Life, Carolina House
Assisted Living, March of Dimes, Service League of Greenville, and the Groundbreaking
Ceremony for the Vidant Children’s Hospital.

7. JHROSETheater
The Theatre Department at J.H. Rose High School offers a strong academic curriculum in a
number of theatre and technical theatre courses. In addition, the “Rampant Theatrical Company,”
comprised of Rose students, entertains the school and local community with three productions a
year (at least five performances per production). These productions include dramas, comedies,
and musicals; recent productions have included the musical “Beauty and the Beast” and a
quintet of short plays performed in a “theatre-in-the-round” setting. All performances are
enjoyed by a broad range of audience, including students, families, faculty, administrative
staff, and the local community.
In addition to their three productions per year, the students of the Rampant Theatrical
Company have provided such recent community services as visiting the local children’s hospital,
performing excerpts of plays for Barnes & Noble storytimes, providing structured backstage
tours for Girl Scout troops, and entertaining assisted living residents with a variety show.
For more information about how you can become involved in the J.H. Rose theatre community, please call
