ABOUT
Our annual event with FHS is a time for 7th and 8th graders to hang out with the high school band and get a preview of what band is like during marching season! This event is REQUIRED for Advanced Band students who are currently zoned to attend FHS in 7th and 8th grade. First year students are welcome to attend the game, but since we are still learning the basics of our instruments you will not be playing or sitting with the combined group until next year.
