Good evening, this is Mr. Kennedy, principal of Forbush High School.
I want to begin this evening by congratulating Laurie Roberts and our Chorus students for an excellent concert last week. We have some talented singers here at FHS, great job! Thank you for your hard work and for representing Forbush so well.
Our Forbush band, the Band Boosters, and director Matthew Brusseau did a great job organizing yesterday’s annual Festival of Bands. Thank you to everyone who helped make this event a great success once again this year. Our Forbush Band will perform their Fall Concert tomorrow evening, October 17, beginning at 7pm in the auditorium. We hope to see you there!
