The Forney High School Band Drumline had their first competition of the season on Saturday at Pennington Field in Bedford. They were rewarded with a 2nd Place (Silver Medal Trophy) in the 6A Advance Category. The Competition provided the students with valuable feedback about their performance. The goal is to help the students become better at their percussion craft. The Drumline puts in the work to be excellent. Each school day the students practice with he FHS band before the start of the school day at 6:45 a.m. They also spend a class period each day working on percussion specific music.
The weekend was busy for the student. They participated in the Forney High School Football game on Friday evening. Saturday, the students practiced on the warm sun soaked Forney Football field from 2:30 to 4:30 before leaving for the competition. After a warmup time at Pennington Field in Bedford, they presented their program at 8:00 p.m.
