The BSHS band hosts a large band festival each year called Festival of Bands (FOB), and it is a lot of fun for everyone! This festival is one of the biggest things we do, and a very important fundraiser for our band program. Many, many volunteers and helpers are needed for a wide variety of jobs to make it a success. Jobs include food concessions, ticket booth, water tent hosts, parking of spectator cars and band buses, director’s lounge hospitality, and many other volunteer opportunities.
