Our Marching Music Performance Assessment is on Saturday, October 9th at Fort Walton Beach High School.  This is a mandatory, adjudicated performance for all marching band students.  Since the Homecoming Dance is ALSO that evening, we have requested the earliest performance time slot.  As soon as the band has finished their performance, we will be loading busses and departing back to Pace High School.  All band students will still have the opportunity to attend the dance that evening.
