Upcoming Week

Students and Parents,

Our band students represented Forestview High School very well at Enka this past weekend.  The band earned an Excellent rating and we received 3rd in Drum Major.  I am extremely proud of all of their hard work.  We are making strides every rehearsal, everyday.  Improvement is our focus week in and week out.  

Please look at the following information about the upcoming week:

9/30/14

Cramerton Middle School's pep-band is performing for their home football game. Students from Forestvew High School have been invited to perform with the Cramerton Middle School Pep-band.  This event is optional.
