Important:
It is expected that every band member purchase a student card as well as a $50 Band Activity Fee. This fee helps support the cost of busing and fees for music festivals. If you are in TWO ensembles, you only pay $30 for the second group -- for a total of $80. Cash or Cheques (should be made payable to FHCI Student Activities) are accepted.
What We Do:
Most of the time we just have a good time making music together! Weekly rehearsals and sectionals help us prepare performances for the public. These performances include:
FHCI Commencement, Grade 8 Days, Music Night, Collingwood Regional Musicfest, Kiwanis Music Festival, Trojan Arts Gala ['TAG'], Canada's Wonderland Music Festival ... and sometimes an unexpected 'gig' or two!
Below is video of the Collingwood Regional Musicfest, which happens every March. This is always a really good time, and for so many reasons! Check out this promo video, and keep an eye out for the FHCI Stage Band [0:45]!
Music Selections
Here are some of the tunes we are considering playing during our 2018-2019 Concert Season! More will be added as next year's list of tunes is assembled ... stay tuned!
