FFCHS Concert Ensembles

BEGINNING CONCERT BAND
​
Beginning Band is designed for students (9th - 12th grade) who did not have the opportunity to participate in a band previously, but have a desire to learn a wind band instrument (flute, clarinet, saxophone, trumpet, French horn, trombone, euphonium, tuba).

Students who have had minimal middle school band are encouraged to join Beginning Band to solidify their fundamental playing skills. Some school instruments are available to check-out, while others may need to be rented from a local music store depending on availability. All students will eventually move into one of the three concert ensembles at FFCHS.

​The Beginning Band will perform at band concerts throughout the year as appropriate for the ensemble. Beginning Band is a full year course.
