FALCON NOTES

Wow!  Two weeks in a row!
It's getting near the end of the school year are we are already planning for next year.  We are on our second week of auditions.  Results will be posted by Friday.  I've heard some really talented individuals and next year sounds like it will be just as energetic and exciting as this year.
We are also in the middle of Colorguard clinics.  If you haven't been yet, it isn't too late to join this quickly growing squad.
Drum Line clinics will begin this week.  I will email the day and times shortly.
Many things are coming up such as the car wash, pops concert, end of the year banquet, and graduation.  It is VITAL that you attend the next booster meeting so that the end of the year comes smoothly.
We will be voting in each class on student officers for next year and student awards.  Please see Mr. Schick if you don't get a ballot due to AP Tests.
Have a great week and good luck on AP's!
