Following the performances, students will load up all of our equipment, eat lunch (pack a lunch or bring concessions $), and enjoy various clinics and performances as well as spend time in the expo hall. The students will leave at 5pm and return to FC at 5:30pm. The students will put the instruments away and then be dismissed.

There will be some unbelievable deals on music, sticks, mallets, instruments, and all accessories in the expo hall. It may be a good idea to bring some money if interested in making a purchase.

Each marching band student will receive a group photo (included with band fees). We will be distributing the photos at the Marching Band Banquet.
