FALCON NOTES The weeks are blazing by at top speed. I can't believe that we already had "Back to School Night." Thank you to everyone who attended Back to School night last Thursday. Being involved in your child's life during high school is essential in making sure that they are successful in life. This week we had in-class sectionals with the Jazz Band. Professional coaches came in to help them rehearse and learn about improvising and chord progressions. The Symphony Orchestra had a guest Violinist, Moses Pagossian come in to talk and play for them. He also told them about his chamber music series at Zipper hall at the Colburn School of Music. They were encourage to attend the concert this Sunday at 3:00. As we close the Entertainment Book Fundraiser, we start another one this week. Thank you for your support of our music program.

We really need your help in order to make this fundraiser successful. Thank you.
