F.A.M.E. "Music City" Street Festival

10/31/2017

 
Friday and Saturday, November 10th and 11th
JB and Varsity PE Performance on Saturday from 11am to Noon
F.A.M.E. has been supporting music in our schools over the last 12 years! They host a street festival in downtown Englewood where bands donate their time and energy to help local music programs acquire instruments. Money spent on lunch, dinner, beverages, t-shirts, on the silent auction, or in raffles goes towards purchasing new instruments in our schools. To date, F.A.M.E. has raised nearly $200k! They hope to cross that threshold this year with your attendance and support! Bring the family, listen to some great local talent, and pay it forward! 

In addition, our jazz band and varsity percussionists will perform alongside the LBHS jazz band and VES drummers. Please see our newsletter here if your child is performing. They take the stage on Saturday at 11am!
