IN HER MOM'S WORDS
A Note from Faith's Mom
Faith used to love to tell people she spent 8 years in the Beechwood H.S. Marching Band; for those that didn't know the school, this seemed quite odd. She was a flag helper in 5th and 6th grades. She started playing the trumpet, then the flute. She found her home in the sideline percussion, or the Pit. She would tell you this was the happiest time of her life.
Her band journey came full circle when she became a member of the Campbell County H.S. Band Boosters. She enjoyed being a Band Mom, especially helping out at their competition!
She would have been happy and honored to know that this year's Best Percussion Trophy was being named after her.
Faith, you are missed and loved and never forgotten.
Mom
