Fallbrook High band members work on their marching skills for several hours at a fundraising March-a-Thon Aug 30. The marching drill was done without instruments as the band practiced their maneuvers on the FUHS football field. Section leaders and captains helped band members with less experience to perfect their marching abilities.
