Falcons offensive guard Justin Blalock will be guest conducting at the side-by-side summer concert in Atlanta tonight — The Atlanta Symphony Youth Orchestra gets to play with the Atlanta Symphony for one song to end the night and they’re playing “Raiders March” – which is the song everyone knows from the Indiana Jones franchise. Justin has an ongoing partnership with the Atlanta Symphony to try and raise money for music education for underprivileged kids in the area and he’s extremely excited to have the opportunity to guest conduct. Falcons teammate Michael Turner also said he will be coming out to support his teammate and Guard as well. -TO

While we’ve been mostly covering cheerleader tryouts, little did I know that some pro cheerleading squads are “working” in other ways. Looks like a couple of weeks ago the Atlanta Falcons girls got to enjoy the sand and sun in Jamaica for a little calendar shoot action.

Taking a quick look at the Falcons’ 2012 schedule (listed below) two things require immediate attention. First, there isn’t an “easy” game to be found.
