Message from Rob
Happy October, parents! Incredible how the year goes by. We are in full swing of the school year, all our ensembles continue to rehearse and get better every day. October signals a transition for our Marching Band and Color Guard: competition season. If you have been by the field on Tuesday and Thursday nights, you can see the progress they are making.
Homecoming is this weekend, and I’m hoping you get to make it to the game and watch the Marching Band and Color Guard perform at halftime. From what I understand, there will be an added surprise, so please be sure to get there early.
Band Review is 26 days away, so please keep your eyes open for our Sign Up Genius! We are looking forward to having all your incredible parents help make our 49th Annual Band Review a resounding success!
Lastly, we have our weekly Band Review meeting on 10/3 at 7:30 in the FHS Library. We encourage all parents to attend! Wednesday is our monthly board meeting. While that meeting is exclusive to only Board Members, we will be sure to share the meeting minutes with you afterwards.
Make it a great week!
#ShineThrough
With gratitude,
