FALCON NOTES February always goes by too quickly. I can't believe that we are approaching March already. This week begins our busy festival and concert season. Our students have been practicing hard to provide a wonderful experience for all of our performances. Our Musical, "Pippin," opens next week. I encourage all of you to enjoy a wonderful evening filled with spectacular acting, wonderful dancing, and amazing music. The pit, cast and crew have been working non-stop since January in making this musical one of CV's best! In three weeks, the Instrumental music department will perform it's annual "Spring Concert" as a showcase for music performed at local festivals and our Spring Trip to Florida. March will be an amazing month. I am continually impressed with the amount of musicality and talent emerging from our fine music students at CV. |
