 FALCON NOTES

Our concert last night was the highest attended Spring Concert ever!  I was surprised since the concert ended up having to be on a Thursday due to Good Friday.  Thank you all for coming out on a school night to support your children and the Instrumental Music program. 
I am constantly amazed by the amount of challenging music our students can handle.  It seems that whenever we "up the bar" musically, they respond successfully.  This year's Spring Concert showcased all of our festival music.  Every group has attended festivals.  Jazz Band and String will attend another one within the next couple weeks.  This week was intense. We had 2 rehearsals, 2 festivals and the concert.  Now we prepare for San Diego and the upcoming Pops Concert in May!  Happy Easter and have a great weekend.

That it is not heard at all,
