Message from Rob
Hello FHS instrumental music families!
As we enter the last week of school, I hope your plans for the end of the year include some very well deserved down time and rest.
Last week, our students had a number of performances in the MPR. There are links to the performances below in the Photo and Videos section.
For those of you who are going to London, we are holding a mandatory in-person parent meeting on Tuesday. The meeting will be in Room C-6 at Foothill High School and will start at 7:30p sharp. Please ask your student to keep an eye on the London group in the Band App and emails. A LOT of updates and communications will be sent out via those two channels from chaperones and the overall trip information.
As we approach the end of the year, please note that you can still make your annual band donation. We are making great progress this year, and your help allows The Boosters to help with students, the program, and the directors.
With gratitude,
-Rob
President, Foothill Band Boosters

Big thanks to all of you for a wonderful semester! Our concert last week was a great way to wrap it up, and we couldn’t have done it without your support.
