FALCON NOTES

The dust has finally settled from the the explosion of school starting and every class is hard at work rehearsing music.

Next week is Marching Band's first field show competition at College of the Canyons.  To see a preview of their competition show, go to the football game next Friday at Glendale High School.

Symphony Orchestra will start to select and sign up for their Ensemble groups as they prepare for their November 14th Ensemble Concert.

Next Tuesday we will have our October Parent meeting at 7:00pm.  Please make sure you attend so you can be abreast of all the latest information.  Our Foundation President met with all the class presidents and received some really insightful input on student opinion regarding fundraising.

 HART RAMPAGE COMP

ALL Marching Band members are to arrive at CV at 1pm on Saturday, October 13.  We will have music and marching basic rehearsals from 1-4pm.  We will also be eating lunch as a group during this time.  We plan to leave CV at 4:15pm.

Students who have paid the $30 "Event Food and Refreshments" fee from Band Camp will have the opportunity next week (Mon-Wed) to choose what kind of sandwich they want for lunch.  Extra sandwiches are an additional charge.  If you have still not paid your $30, please turn it in ASAP.

Next Tuesday, October 9, will be the first banking day of the school year.  The regular school day will start at 9, an hour later than usual.  However, all marching band members must attend morning rehearsal as always.  Due to a staff meeting from 8-9, marching band will practice during regular Zero Period time, from 6:45-7:45am.
