SPRING FLING!

Parents, 

We would like to invite you to be present at our annual Spring Fling Picnic and Concert! This event is a celebration of achievements, accolades, and growth throughout our school year! These kids have worked so hard on preparing music for your enjoyment, and we would be thrilled if you could attend! 

We will have dinner before the concert for those who are interested. A meal of a Hamburger, Chips, Cookie, and choice of a provided beverage can be purchased from our FISD Band Boosters. Meals will be $6.00 and checks can be made payable to the FHS Band. Please reserve your meal by turning in the form below.

Following the cook-out, the students will perform a concert of prepared music for you to enjoy. Please bring a lawn chair or blanket to sit on, as we will be performing outside!

All FISD owned instruments will be turned in following the performance!
