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.
