Press! Here are are the details for the Golden Jubilee June
29-July 1 2012 Orkney Reunion
Welcome to the Falls Church High School Band alumni site! The purpose of this site is to provide an area where we can post information, news, and links. It will operate as an adjunct to the Facebook FCHS Band Group.
A FCHS band reunion was held August 28-30, 2009 at Orkney Springs. There were approximately 209 alumni and family members in attendance. We had a fantastic time reminiscing and becoming reacquainted with old friends. Those that were not able to attend were missed. We hope you will be able to join us at the next reunion at Orkney (target date during the summer of 2012).
The current FCHS Band director, John Davenport, was able to join us during the Saturday evening festivities at the reunion. He shared with us his desire for the present day band members to become reconnected with the proud FCHS band history and legacy. His enthusiasm was infectious and we would like to thank him for reaching out to us. The present FCHS Band has a great website named jaguarband.org that is packed with information.
In the spirit of reconnecting and continuing the legacy, Mr. Davenport suggested that as many band alumni as possible, both instrumentalists and color guard (flags or whatever you were called at the time) come to the homecoming game on October 23. The alumni marched in to the stadium behind the band (marching is not the chair step so we all could do it).
Those who play instruments joined the band in playing tunes. The National Anthem was sung by the chorus.
Mr. Davenport helped bridge the gap back to the 60's. We can help. We are family.
