Everyone else in the tiny town of Enfield, Texas, calls fall football season, but for the forty-three members of the Fighting Enfield Marching Band, it' s contest season. And for new saxophonist Anna James, it' s her first chance to prove herself as the great musician she' s trying hard to be. When she' s assigned a duet with mellophone player Weston Ryan, the boy her small-minded town thinks of as nothing but trouble, she' s equal parts thrilled and intimidated. But as he helps her with the duet, and she sees the smile he seems to save just for her, she can' t help but feel like she' s helping him with something too. When her strict parents find out she' s been secretly seeing him and keep them apart, Anna and Weston learn what it truly means to fight for something they love. With the marching contest nearing and the two falling hard for one another, the unthinkable happens, and Anna is left grappling for a way forward without Weston. Ashley Schumacher' s Full Flight is about how first love shapes us-even after it' s gone.
