Senior Chris Towne and junior LaDainian Harrison represented Fountain Hills High School in the 2024 Arizona Music Educators Association (AMEA) Regional Band Festival on Saturday, Feb. 17.

They are the first two Falcons to play in the regional band in over four years.

“For me, it was kind of nerve-racking a little bit, I’m not going to lie,” Harrison said. “It was my first time auditioning for something.”
