The band members, approximately 200 of them,

will be part of the Olympic Band, comprised of 2,000

musicians from across the globe. It is anticipated that it will

cost $3,200 for each FCHS student band member and Beard said they are hoping for corporate

sponsorships to help offset at least some of that.

For a sample of the band's repertoire, a Prism Concert and

Chili Supper is scheduled for Thursday night, 5:30-8 p.m., in

the commons area of the high school. The concert is free; chili

dinners are $5 for adults, $3 for ages 2-10, with tickets at the door

an additional $1. There will be door prizes and the food is

available for take-out.

For the Prism Concert, various versions of the band will

be situated at the "points" of the commons area to provide

dinner music. Beard said there will be offerings by the marching

band, ensembles, soloists and more.

For information on the concert/chili supper, which is

sponsored by the Fayette County High School Band Boosters, call
