Congratulations All Region Band members!

Today, the hard-work of our great students has come to fruition! 

FMS placed 30 students in the All Region Band,

3 Students were selected as alternates,

and 5 of the 30 selected members advanced to the All Region Orchestra!

More than %50 of the auditioning students advanced


We are SO PROUD of all of our students. Not just the students selected for one of the bands, not just the students who auditioned today, but ALL of our students who pushed their own limits, stretched their abilities, and got better because of it.
