Achievements Thus Far  
In the past six years, FAB has raised more than $100,000 for the Ferndale Schools fine arts programs.  Together with the school district, FAB has purchased many items for the schools including: specialty instruments such as marimbas, chimes, tympani and concert basses;  concert attire for the high school band, orchestra and choir; new acoustical band shells, choral risers, music stands and chairs; and new marching band uniforms. The FAB has also provided $3,000 in support for the high school dance and visual arts programs, and over $10,000 in classroom assistance grants to teachers.

Future Activities  

Since its inception, the FAB organization has focused primarily on supporting the high school fine arts programs. However, as membership has grown, FAB is broadening its efforts to support the elementary and middle school programs as well.  Last year, FAB sponsored a used instrument sale at Coolidge Intermediate School to help make low-cost, good condition instruments available to beginning band and orchestra students.  In the coming year, there are several additional activities FAB would like to explore at the elementary level.  These include purchasing instruments for the general music teachers and subsidizing semi-private music lessons for beginning instrumental students. However, to develop and fund these and other fine arts programs, we need your help.
