Program Title: Forged: What We Built

Some things are built to last forever. "What We Built" uses the imagery and sounds of the American Iron Worker and the skylines they constructed in our country's biggest cities during the 1920s and 1930s. Our students, their lives and all of our lives intersect in a way that constantly builds relationships on relationships. We celebrate with music and movement, with personal reflection on these things we build with our precious time on Earth. These Iron Workers lived a job that brought them to views that could never have been seen without their determination to get the job done. Our lives are richer by the people we have met with intention and the people we have met through happenstance. It's the effort, love and kindness we put in to the work of these relationships that remind us of the importance of what we build. Congrats to all the students this season with all of the bands you see today, and the things you will build throughout the work you invest in together. I. VISION - Fanfare for the Common Man (A. Copland) II. THE CITY - Rhapsody In Blue (G. Gershwin) III. THE SKYLINE - Titanium (SIA and D. Galata) IV. THE IRON - Iron Man (Black Sabbath) The Ridgeline Regiment were the NWAPA 2022 Century Showcase Champions and the 2023 NWAPA Circuit Championships Runners-Up. Ridgeline was established as a brand new high school in Liberty Lake, WA (eastern edge of Spokane county) in 2021. This is our fourth year in competition and we are really excited to present a program of students who have spent all of their high school career in our beloved school. We are grateful for a school leader in principal Jesse Hardt who makes sure our compass always points to excellence in all of our school programs. And a school mission that fuels everything we do in the classroom, and on the field and stages of athletics, activities and the arts: Belong, Inspire and Grow is our rudder in all of our work.
