Ridgewood HS Jamboree 2015 to Have Shows Feb. 4 - 7

It’s time for Ridgewood High School’s Jamboree 2015!

RHS Jamboree is a 68-year-old tradition in which parents and guardians of Ridgewood High School students volunteer their time and talents to create sets, costumes, learn dances and songs and put on a full-fledged musical revue to raise scholarship monies for college-bound seniors who demonstrate academic achievement and need.

The theme changes each year, with recent themes being “The British are Coming,” “A Shore Thing.” This year’s theme is “Under the Stars.”

RHS Jamboree performs to a live band and has professional choreographers who also volunteer their time to work with them. It all ends with an amazingly professional, yet fun production.

Shows are at Benjamin Franklin Middle School on Feb. 4, 5, 6 at 7:30 p.m. and Feb. 7 at 7 p.m.

Last year, RHS Jamboree raised approximately $110,000 and were able to distributed 18 scholarships. Money is raised through advertisement sales (to be published in a journal handed out to community attending the show), scene sponsors and underwriters, ticket sales and donations.

RHS Jamboree wants people to come to the show and be thoroughly entertained.
