Dear Eagle Regiment Families,
It's time!!
Our first competition of the season will be at the annual Falcon Sound Invitational on Saturday! We hope to see all our families fill the stands and be the loudest cheerleaders there! Thank you all for supporting us.
Students, we only have TWO rehearsals left before Saturday.
Use them to lock in every detail, whether that be drill, music, or choreo.
Rehearse to PERFORM and make this the best Falcon Sound performance from the Eagle Regiment they've ever seen. Every school already expects a certain level of excellence from us, and will be watching for any mistakes to discredit us. Let's make sure that the only thing they see is why we've consistently earned the placements we've received.
Thank you, and let's all work hard! :))
Please be sure to read ALL of the Announcements and Schedules:
