I know you don't want to think about it (me either...), but school is starting back up this week.
While we don't have an evening rehearsal this week, please know that we start our contest evening rehearsals next Monday the 14th and continue every Monday following until contest - this includes Mondays with no school! Please understand that Monday evening rehearsals are not an option, have been on the calendar for months now, and affect your grade and contest participation.
Please let me know if you have any questions.
