Don't Let Our Kids March Naked!
Donation protected
We are in DESPERATE need of uniforms. The uniforms are over 15 years old (the age of our current Freshmen) and we do not have enough uniforms to outfit the marching band for the 2016 season. At this point, our award winning band will have to march in jeans and polos.
Unfortunately, funding for performing arts programs is a challenge for many public schools and maintaining excellence with limited resources is tough. All funds to replace the uniforms must be raised by the Band Boosters. There is NO state or district funding allotted for uniforms.
The Band Boosters run many different fundraisers throughout the year to simply cover operating costs and scholarships for students in need. All marching band members are also responsible for participation fees each year. The costs associated with running a large band program are daunting.
We plan to provide even more students with the opportunity to play, march, and learn in 2016. The 2015 SFHS Marching Band was 135 members strong grades 9-12 and we anticipate our largest ever Freshman class in 2016. While these new students make us very happy, this poses several challenges for our music program.

The success of any organization is dependent upon the spirit, pride, leadership, teamwork, dedication, and cooperation of its members. The South Forsyth High School Bands (War Eagle Marching Band, Concert Band, Symphonic Band, Wind Ensemble, Indoor Percussion Ensemble, Jazz Band, and Color Guard) is a successful organization focused on cultivating the love of music. Our students are a stellar group of talented musicians ready to take their performance to the next level.
