Raise Funds for Music Education through the Fulton Arts and Music Expo

Strike up the band! The Fulton County School System is putting on a show-stopping event to raise funds for music education! On November 6, the first-ever Fulton Arts & Music Expo – or FAME – will take place at North Springs Charter High School. Award-winning marching bands, orchestras, jazz bands and choruses from all across Fulton will perform to large crowds, and professional Atlanta musicians will lead skills clinics for students and perform mini-concerts. Kid-friendly activities will entertain the young ones while music lovers will experience sights and sounds that delight the ears.


FAME is sponsored by the Fulton Education Foundation, the Fulton County School System and Music Matters to raise funds for student scholarships for the elementary band/orchestra after-school program as well as other music education initiatives. Tickets are on pre-sale for $10 before the event (children 5 and under are free) and are $15 the day of the event. Rain or shine, this event promises to be a day of fun for the whole family. Visit www.fultonschools.org/FAME for program/performer info and ticket reservations.
