We have evening rehearsal on Monday, downbeat promptly at 6:00 altogether. I don't foresee rehearsal lasting past 8:30 at the latest. Please do not be late!
Trip people - If you have not already, please turn in chocolate money asap and any delinquent payments. The final payment is due by the 15th. Please speak to me if there are going to be any issues with the timing of payments. We should have new statements out to you soon, hopefully Monday. The trip will be here before you know it!
ALL: Please don't forget that your third concert and sight reading pass off is due tonight. All relevant information has been announced in class, posted in the band hall, and sent out via remind. I'll also be posting it on the front page of our website, www.pampaband.org. Reminder that a large portion of your grade this semester comes from these music pass offs! Practicing your music, learning it, and completing these assignments is necessary to passing band!
