Homecoming was a huge success, and the students are hard at work getting ready for band festival! The schedule is posted on the marching band page on the website. There are also hard copies available that were put up in the band room earlier this week. Along with the itinerary there is also tickets for the event, and a photo order form. Please ask your student for this information or have them get it for you if they have not done so already.
The concert bands are hard at work in prepping for the halloween concert. The concert will take place at 7:30pm in the FHS auditorium.
We are excited to welcome our 8th grade band students to the football game on October 13th. This will be a good way for them to get some experience and find out what the marching band is like.

The first few weeks of school have been great. All the bands are off to a great start, and marching band has had a successful band camp refresher day. The students are excited to go to CMU tomorrow even though it will be hot!! We are excited to cheer on the Spartan football team and hope to see them bring home another victory.

I have attached the homecoming schedule under the marching band page! Please let me know if you have any questions.
September 8th, 2017
The first week back has been great and the students are back working! All of the bands are now playing and working on concert music. The calendar is now updated for all of the dates for the bands for the whole year. On the marching band page you will find the CMU flier, and information about our upcoming rehearsal and movie night on September 16th. Please remember that syllabi were not passed out to any class, just an introductory letter and the agreement form. All of the syllabi for each class are on this web page under the specific classes. I am excited about this year and can't wait to see the groups continue to grow!
