Region Band! 7th & 8th Grade!
Fairforest is proud to send students to audition for Region and All State band! This is a very prestigious event and to be selected as a member is the highest honor a middle school band student can receive. Basically, the students prepare a 3-5 line solo, 7 major scale, and band terms. They audition in January with other middle school students from all across the upstate. If selected, they will perform a concert in the Spring with a guest conductor and perform with the most talented students in the area! Info and solos have been passed out in class. Please see the link for more details and contact me with ANY questions or concerns. This is a HUGE deal and the first time FMS band has been a part of this. I would like to see a huge number of FMS band students participate to have a good turn out our first year!!
