FALCON NOTES Welcome back! We've survived the first week after Spring Break! More importantly, we're just recovering from our Spring trip to Florida. This week we are preparing for our "Pops Concert." The theme this year is "Once upon a Time." We will be selling ad space for our concert program and are looking for talented individuals to design a cover. Even though we are still in 2006-7, we are already planning for 2007-8. Auditions for Jazz and Symphony Orchestra will start next week. Watch this space for more information. Drum Line clinics and auditions will begin soon. More information will be available next week. Color guard auditions will start next week. We had a great Incoming Music Freshmen meeting last night. It was wonderful seeing so many enthusiastic parents and students. If you haven't done so yet, please turn in your Mark Blinoff Grant applications. The deadline has been extended to May 18. Have a great week! |
