High School Band of fifty years ago. On the FHS auditorium stage students display their talents to their classmates and the general public. Fairfield High has always offered an excellent program in the field of fine arts. When the first QUILL was published, the debate and declam contests were among the year's high lights. Musically talented students could participate in the lvoy's or girl's glee club, the band, and the orchestra. Today, numerous dramatic and musical activities are offered to FHS students. These include plays, musical concerts - instrumental and vocal - and variety shows, plus many small group activities and individual work. The activities of both the dramatic and music departments are climaxed in the spring at the speech and music contests, where the results of a year's work are displayed and rewarded.
