In October of 2024, the Fairfax drumline participated in the Lee’s Summit Invitational. They placed third, only to later discover an error in calculation made by a judge. They had actually received second place, only missing first place by five points. The error was rectified, and they finally have received their second place trophy. The fact the Fairfax drummers were competing against class 3 and 4 schools and placed second is an amazing accomplishment for them! The band will be traveling to Branson, Missouri, this spring to perform and fundraisers have been held the past few months. Thanks to the community’s generous donations, a total of $5,071.29 has been raised, surpassing the goal of $4,519. (Shelby Hurst photo)
