Santa Rosa High School has a very extensive band program. There is a period of symphonic band, a period of concert band, and an extracurricular pep band that plays at all of the home football games. However, ever since the jazz band class was cut in the 2008-2009 school year (when this year’s seniors were freshmen), Santa Rosa has been lacking a jazz band―until now.    

On Wednesday, March 28, the SRHS math club, as well as the math clubs of other schools throughout Sonoma County, sent its most talented students to Spring Lake to compete in one of the most anticipated competitions of the year.

Steeplechase, consisting of nine challenges that test students’ mathematical ability, spatial reasoning, creativity, and critical thinking, required students to work together in groups of three or four with students of other schools.
