The Update:

Naaman Forest Band Family, thank you for braving a long week. The staff is so proud of the work our students are doing day to day. Because of their dedication, the NFRB made it to finals and first place for our group in prelims. We are excited to take the feedback we have received from the judges and continue to make improvements to the show.

We are only 17 days away from our 5A UIL Marching Region contest. Please look at the schedule and be acquainted with our rehearsal and performance schedule during the Fall Break.
