A few FHS Orchestra students are showcasing their Pops Concert t-shirts this year! The Pops Concert is Thursday, November 20 at 7:30 p.m. in the Heminger Auditorium at FHS! The theme is “City Lights, Symphony Nights!”

It’s been a tradition for students to get a Pops or orchestra t-shirt every fall. Mr. Pressel has been collecting them over the years, and as he is preparing for his spring retirement, he’s been wearing them and telling the students about past Pops themes.

Did you participate in one of these Pops concerts?
