Welcome!
Welcome to the official home page of the new independent percussion ensemble, River City Rhythm.
RCR is a non-profit tax-exempt 501(c)3 percussion ensemble based in central Minnesota open to youth up to the age of 22. We will be competing both in the MPA and WGI winter circuits. Our goal is to create a positive experience while helping our members enhance their music, marching, and performance skills while getting the chance to either continue their career beyond high school, or meet new people who share their enthusiasm for music or percussion, or both. We want to be able to give this excellent and unique opportunity to those in the central Minnesota community as we recognize there are a lot of skilled drummers, percussionists, and musicians in the area!
Feel free to join our Facebook fan page to stay up on the latest updates from RCR.
