Hello Foothill Students and Families!
Do you have have a passion for music?
Do you have an instrument at home that is waiting to be played?
Were you ever in band?
If you answered yes to any of the above questions then we invite you to join us at Band Camp August 1-6 at Foothill High School. The Foothill Marching Band has a long history of excellence throughout California. We are gearing up for our football games, travel, competitions and all sorts of performances this coming school year! Marching band is open to anyone who wants to participate, no experience necessary. If you don’t have an instrument or equipment, we will provide it for you on the first day of camp.
