FHS Steel Band

This Steel Band class is available to any students in Franklin County as part of a 21st Century Community learning grant. Steel Band classes focus on the development of musical skills through scales, selected music literature, and solos. The goal of this class is to make every student more aware of how to play an instrument and how to appreciate/understand music. Through problem-solving, critical thinking, and reflection, students develop the physical and cognitive skills to be more disciplined performers. Public performances may serve as a culmination of specific instructional goals. Students may be required to attend and/or participate in rehearsals and performances outside the school day to support, extend, and assess learning in the classroom. The class runs the entire school year and can be joined during the year if approved.
