In late October, after the football season, the band separates into concert band and wind symphony ensembles. Immediately after the final home game of every season, the band performs what is known as "Script Kent", a formation similar to "Script Ohio" performed by The Ohio State University Marching Band and using the same song, Le Régiment de Sambre et Meuse by Robert Planquette. As part of the tradition, the band spells out "Kent" with the stadium lights off and band members wearing green glow sticks around their ankles that are uncovered only after the stadium lights have been turned off. The marching band also hosts a yearly band show in late August, known as the "Roosevelt Premier of Bands" that features several local high school bands and marches in Kent's annual Memorial Day parade in May. Additional extra-curricular performance groups include Jazz Band and brass, woodwind, percussion ensembles. The Roosevelt orchestra program is composed mainly of an all-string chamber orchestra. Extracurricular ensembles include a pit orchestra for the school's annual musical production and several smaller ensembles. The choral program includes an entry-level mixed four-part choir known as Concert Choir, an all-treble voice choir called Chorale, and a mixed four-part choir called ChoralWorks. Membership in ChoralWorks and Chorale is determined by audition, with members typically rising from Concert Choir to Chorale (if a Soprano or Alto) to ChoralWorks. The choirs generally have three regular concerts during the school year, with additional performances in and outside of school at various times of the year. There is also one additional extracurricular ensemble: a four-part mixed ensemble known as ACEs (Advanced Choral Ensemble) with members determined by audition at the beginning of each school year. Every May, the choirs, along with the Jazz Band, stage a POPs concert that features music from a variety of time periods and genres and also includes choreography and additional solo and small group performances. The concert typically features eight combined-choir songs, eight Jazz Band songs, and a number of POPs Specials, or independently-led performances by either small groups of students or larger student-led ensembles such as the OAFA (Once And For All) ensemble. The concert has been held every year since 1970. Since 2013, a madrigal dinner in
