The Fairfield Middle School seventh- and eighth-grade marching band will begin practice this week for the annual Kiwanis Kids Day Parade.
Practices scheduled before the school year begins Sept. 5 are:
? 3:30-5:30 p.m. Thursday at Fairfield High School. Students will meet in the band room. The door is on the west side of the building and is marked.
? 5:45-7 p.m. Aug. 28 and Aug. 29 in the FMS band room. Not all sports practices conclude at the same time, so students should come to band practice as soon as they are able.
The students will be doing some marching outdoors, so they should wear comfortable shoes; no flip-flops ? tennis shoes are best. They also should wear clothing appropriate for the temperature outdoors.
Additional practices and a performance schedule will be distributed to students 4:30-6 p.m. Aug. 31 at the FMS open house.
For information, contact band director Mary Andersen via email at mary.andersen@fairfieldsfuture.org or call the school office at 472-5019 between 7:30 a.m. and 4:30 p.m.
Kiwanis Kids Day is set for Sept. 16.
