WHERE WE PLAY
Usually just in the FHCI Music Room! We have a good time learning and rehearsing music together every Thursday morning. We also play concerts within the school, out at Music Festivals, and various unexpected 'gigs' the arise through the year.

Stage Band
"Music students have better problem-solving abilities. They are more original, have greater focused attention and are better able to integrate diverse facts and ideas." (Columbia University)
This group is usually made up of grade 10-12 students who enjoy performing in jazz, latin, and rock genres. Lately we have had several grade 9 students who exhibit exceptional talent and drive and have been invited to join.
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 ensemble, the second ensemble is only $30, for a total of $80. Cash or Cheques (should be made payable to FHCI Student Activities) are accepted.
