BIG HAPPENINGS

Fannin County hosted this year's 9th District Honor Band in January.  The Honor Band is composed of band members from across the Georgia 9th District who have committed many extra hours of hard work and survived a difficult audition process to be selected.  We are very excited that nineteen of our very own band members were selected to this year's band.  They are Olivia Crawford, Flute, First Chair; Eddie Lin, Clarinet; Jessica Stiles, Clarinet; Christina Arp, Clarinet; Abby Crawford, French Horn; Michael Birchmore, Alto Saxophone, First Chair; Hinton Horn, Tuba; Matt Gaddis, Trumpet; Jacob Rogers, Percussion and Lindsay Harper, Flute.  There were nine Middle School members selected.  Way to go folks!  We are so proud of you!

ALL STATE BAND ACCOMPLISHMENTS

We are extremely proud to announce that six of our band members were selected to this year's Georgia All State Band.  To achieve All State Band membership, our members directly competed against more than five thousand (5,000) other Georgia high school band members.  To have four from our own band achieve this status is very rare indeed.  These members are Michael Birchmore, Alto Saxophone, First Chair; Eddie Lin, Clarinet, Fourth Chair; Olivia Crawford, Flute, Third Chair and Abby Crawford, French Horn, Eighth Chair.

Fannin County Middle School Band members participating in the Middle School All State Band are Michael Jones, Tuba and Alice Holden, Alto Saxophone (alternate). Great job guys!

The Georgia All State Band performed in Savannah on March 1st.

While we are very proud of our members mentioned above, we remain proud of our entire band for the work that they do to perform in exemplary fashion throughout this country and the world.  It takes many, many, long hours of work and sweat to accomplish as much as our band does.  Our band members take pride in representing our community in the finest tradition as they travel in support of the school.  We hope that our friends and neighbors are as proud of the band as we are of our coummunity.  We thank all our friends and sponsors for their support.
