Forward -

The band program at Farwell forms a vital and important part of the total school life. The band represents a large, colorful, visible, and highly disciplined segment of the school. The performance of the band at sporting events, concerts, parades, contests, as well as many community events, adds a great deal of color and life to the Farwell community.

The main emphasis of the Farwell Band program is on musicianship. Achieved through hard work, it is the pride of a job well done that makes our efforts worthwhile. The success of the organization will lead to the success of the individual. Those who are in the band, treasure their membership very highly and consider their association with other band members as one of the most pleasant and valuable experiences.

Few, if any, student activities are more richly rewarding in terms of fellowship, healthful recreation, the personal gratification which comes from the performance of good music and the frequent opportunities to serve the school and the community.

In spite of the time required students are able to maintain their academic work with high standings. WELCOME TO THE EAGLE BAND PROGRAM!!!

Making the Commitment

In order to be a member of a performing group, each person must decide if he or she wants to make the commitment of time and dedication. For all school activities, the faculty and administration work together to make sure students have the opportunities to participate in multiple activities. However, non-- school activities such as jobs, baby sitting, doctor's appointments, detentions, and other conflicts must not interfere with a student's commitment to band and to the other members of the group. Please do not register for band unless you are willing to make this commitment.
