– If you were out doing some grocery shopping Saturday at the beach, there’s a pretty good chance you got to hear some nice music. Members of the Fletcher High School Marching Band were playing at the Neptune Beach Publix to help raise money for a very special trip to New York City.
“We’re fundraising to go to New York. We were invited to march in the St. Patrick’s Day Parade,” Said Karissa Foryciarz, a Fletcher Freshman.“It’s exciting! People have been dancing in the street walking toward us, and when they come out of Publix, a lot of them stare and cheer,” Foryciarz said. Cheer, listen in, and donate. Charlie Conte plays the snare, and for him, this is about taking his passion to the next level.
It’s not just the band that wants to go on the trip, it’s the chorus too! For every student to be able to go, they need to raise at least 100 thousand dollars. So, they’ve got a long way to go, but they’re confident they’ll be able to make it.
