We are just finishing up our second year of FCMoD Squad. Over their tenure, FCMoD Squad members worked with our FCMoD Squad Leadership Team to get involved in the music community.
We are starting our third year this summer, and we’d love for individuals between 15 and 19 years old to consider taking part.
If you love music, and want skills in leadership, public speaking, and collaborating with like-minded folks, fill out this application up until July 31st. Jam sessions are highly encouraged.
