Four FMS Students participate in Honor's Band  
On Saturday, April 18, 2009, four students represented FMS, Ferndale Public Schools and the Ferndale Music Program at the 5th Annual MSBOA District IV Honor's Band. Megan Campbell (bassoon), Mallory Fuller (clarinet), Celeste Goedert (saxophone) and Omar Khalasawi (baritone) performed with more than 100 other musicians from 24 area schools. These students were nominated by Mr. Burke for their outstanding musicianship and dedication to the Ferndale Middle School Music Program. They were directed by Dr. James Batcheller, Director of Bands at Central Michigan University. The students rehearsed for several hours throughout the day and then put on an outstanding concert that evening.

FMS Wind Ensemble performs at State Festival
The FMS Wind Ensemble performed at the MSBOA State Band and Orchestra Festival on Saturday, April 25th. The students performed three pieces and sight read two songs  for a panel of judges who assessed their performance. The group received an overall Second Division Rating (II) which signifies a good performance. The group qualified for State Festival after performing at District Festival and receiving all First Division Ratings (I or excellent performance) from the panel of judges.

Congratulations and bravo to these fine young musicians!

Middle School Band
Middle School Orchestra
Middle School Vocal 

The FMS Music Boosters is an organization of middle school parents who support the vocal, band and orchestra programs at Ferndale Middle School.

The Boosters serve many functions. If you have a student in the FMS music program (band, orchestra, choir) then you are already a booster by supporting your student in their vocal and/or instrumental efforts.

One of the primary functions of the Boosters is to raise funds to support the middle school music programs.  While the school district handles teacher salaries and other operational expenses, the Boosters help with a lot of items the district doesn't cover. Over the past couple years, the Boosters have raised money for:

  • sheet music
  • private lessons
  • solo and ensemble fees
  • miscellaneous equipment (mouthpieces, bows ...)

The Boosters also provide 'people-power' at concerts, festivals, and other events by chaperoning, ushering, and helping with setup and cleanup.

We'd love to have your assistance, whether it be in the form of a donation of time, a donation of money or�better yet�by participating in one of our FMS Music Booster meetings. The Boosters meet the 2nd Monday of each month, during the school year.  See the events list below for exact times and locations.


Congratulations to ALL our Middle Schoolers who have been part of the
2004, 2005, 2006, 2007 and 2009 State Champion High School Marching Bands!!
