Now, however, contest is approaching and we need to hit the ground running the next two weeks!
We have evening rehearsal on Monday, downbeat promptly at 6:00 altogether with Mr. Pankratz. I don't foresee rehearsal lasting past 8:30 at the latest. Please do not be late! Be seated EARLY and warm up for a bit before rehearsal starts.
I'll be sending a list of eligible personnel out via Remind later. All eligible personnel are expected to be present at the clinic tonight. If you have *any* questions about your eligibility, please shoot me a message and ask.
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: Don't forget to upload your pass off videos! I'm behind in grading with the TMEA Convention, but I'll catch up this week.
