AFA is Growing!
Parent Volunteers Needed
- AFA Awards Banquet: We could use parent help with setting up, coordinating with a catering service, and clean up. Our banquet is on Thursday May 27th at TJ High. If you are interested in helping, please email jonathan.kurtz@fcps.org
- Concession Donations and Ticket Sales: We can still use some more concessions to sell at AFA events and could use help with the ticket table at the Cabaret and our recitals. To sign up for these events, please visit this link.
AFA Cabaret is March 19th!
The Cabaret will be Thursday March 19th at 7:00pm in the TJ Auditorium. Flex Passes may be used. To purchase additional tickets, visit: https://www.showtix4u.com/events/15915

AFA Vocalists Performance
The AFA Vocal Ensemble performed on February 8 at Tuscarora High School as a guest ensemble for the A Cappella Catoctones concert. This concert included the Frederick Catoctones, the Jazz Acappella ensemble “J’Acappella” from Tuscarora High and the Street Corner Symphony, a winner of NBC’s Sing-Off. A big “Thank you” to the Catoctones for inviting us to this special event.
On February 29 several vocalists will be involved in the Solo and Ensemble festival held at Oakdale High School. At this event the students will receive a rating and comments; they may qualify for the State Solo and Ensemble Festival.
