FALCON NOTES

Happy New Year!!
I hope that you all had a restful Winter Break and are ready to start the new year! Funny how a two week break seems like only a few days once it's past.  I don't know about anyone else, but I could use another break from our Winter Break!  Regardless, I hope you were able to share wonderful memories with family and friends.  Our Christmas was very special since it was Scott's first.  Without going into much detail, I think Scott had a special Christmas! (though he seemed to enjoy the wrapping paper more than the gifts!)  Actually, we all had a very special Christmas with Scott!
      Tune into the Rose Parade tomorrow morning and watch as 7 CVHS Band Members march down Colorado Boulevard!

"Crazy for You" Pit Orchestra Rehearsals Start
Starting this Wednesday, rehearsals for "Crazy for You" will begin for the pit Orchestra.  Plan on staying from 3:15 - 5:15.

 SCSBOA Honor Groups Auditions: Sunday January 8.  Volunteers needed

This upcoming Sunday, Crescenta Valley High School is hosting the Southern California School Band and Orchestra Honor Group Auditions.  This is a great honor for the School as talented students from all over Southern California will participate.  We need students and parents to help out on that day in order to make sure it runs smoothly.  Extra Credit will be given to those who volunteer.  See Mr. Schick if you would like to help.
SPRING TRIP MONEY DUE THIS WEEK
Since Monday is a holiday,  there will be no late fee assessed if the January payment of $80.00 is turned in by the 5th.  However, any payment received after the 5th, will be assessed a $10.00 late fee.
 
 CVHS Students in the Rose Parade

This year, we have an unprecedented 7 students marching in the Rose Parade.  They were selected through a rigorous audition process to become members of the Tournament of Roses Honor Band.  They are, Jesse Buensuceso, Kenny Dacher, Chris Kim, Irene Kim, Alex Miyazaki, Armando Martinez, and Neal Rea.  They dedicated their entire winter break so that they could rehearse with an amazing honor band.  We are very proud of their hard work and great accomplishment as they positively represent Crescenta Valley High School and our community. 
QUOTE OF THE WEEK

Music, of all the arts, stands in a special region, unlit by any star but its own, and utterly without meaning...except it's own.
