CVHS Instrumental Music Email Newsletter		date 8-20-06 / issue #5.2
FALCON NOTES Greetings Falcon music supporters! I can't believe that this summer is almost over. We already have one week down of Drumline / Colorguard / Officer camp. This past week was a very successful one for all the groups. Drumline dusted off the summer cobwebs from their sticks and Colorguard debuted with a very impressive first week of skill work. Our officers and section leaders also did an amazing job of preparing for Band Camp to ensure a successful and enjoyable experience for all. They worked hard and I know it will show with the smoothness of Band Camp. Thank you to the over 90% of you who came to School to get fitted for Marching Band uniforms. It truly helps us and eases the Uniform selection. Band Camp officially starts Monday August 21 at 8:00am. I'm just now getting class lists and every class is shaping up for a successful year! I will see you all soon!
