‘HiScore’ being mastered by FHS Marching Admirals
Parent Preview set for 7 p.m., July 26, on Bill Clabo Field
“We have camp going on right now,” band director Kenneth Carrico III said Wednesday, July 17. “It started on Monday, July 15, and will go to Friday, July 19 and then start again next Monday, July 22, and end on Friday, July 26.
“We will have a Parent Preview performance ar 7 p.m., Friday, July 26, in the FHS football stadium,” he added.
So far, Carrico said, the band is shaping up “great.”
“We have around 180 in the overall program and 150 in the Competitive Marching Band,” he said.
The drum majors leading this year are Maggie Doyle, Adriana Silvestri and Caroline Woods.
HiScore “basically is a pinball show,” Carrico said. “The field and props will look like a pinball machine.
“The main music will be ‘Pinball Wizard’ by The Who, but you will also hear themes of popular old-school arcade games throughout,” he added. “We just wanted to have some fun with this year’s show theme and make sure it would be something the students would really enjoy. They are already really excited about it and working hard on it as we speak. There will be plenty of exciting highlights throughout the show … even trying to work on some cool lighting effects, but that depends on a lot.
