Please drive safely!

There is truth in that statement but I’d like to explain a little about what that means. First, when we …
2019 Show Writeup for FMPA Newsletter
“From Darkness Into Light” Finneytown’s 2019 marching band show is based on the 2010 show performed by DCI’s Phantom Regiment drum corps entitled “Into the Light.” The musical material comes from Michael Kamen’s first classical symphony, “The Old Moon in the New Moon’s Arms,” which was first premiered in 2000.
