FALCON NOTES First of all - Concert Band meets at 7:00am tomorrow. (not 6:45) I would like to thank everyone who attended our last concert of the year. We had a very full auditorium and even though the show was long, everyone was certainly entertained and impressed! I thought that all the groups sounded amazing and it was a wonderful way to "send off" the seniors. Many came up to me and asked "How do you all do it? Every concert just gets better and better!" I just smile and say how grateful I am for working at a wonderful school with dedicated parents and students. Thank you! Next on the agenda is our end of the year Awards Banquet! We will post table reservations on Monday in class. People don't have to reserve tables. Student's who don't can sit wherever they want. Each table seats 10. I look forward to the fabulous festivities!

VIOLIN AND CELLO CALL BACKS Don't forget to come Monday during Lunch for a quick meeting regarding Symphony Call Backs. You will be given a musical excerpt to practice for a week. Next Monday, (May 29) I, along with the concertmaster of Symphony and the first Cellist will hold the final auditions.
BAND CAMP DATES All Marching Band members: clear your summer schedule for Band Camp! Dates for Band Camp this summer will be the last two weeks of August (August 21 - Sept. 2.) Drumline and Colorguard members will start a week earlier, on August 14, and Officer camp will begin on August 16. The 2006-7 school year begins on Tuesday, Sept. 5. More information about Band Camp coming soon!	POPS CONCERT "HEROES" Thank you for an outstanding end of the year "Pops" Concert. We played a wide variety of music which attempted to thread our "Hero" theme. Even though we celebrated fictional Heroes like Superman, Spiderman, and "The Incredibles," our student survey showed that most students consider down to earth, real life people such as mom and dad as their true heroes. It was our most well attended concert of the entire year. See you next year!!
