Congrats again to our All Staters, Julia, Cidnie, and Korbin!
This week starts sectionals for 1st period band. Additionally, weekly ensemble rehearsals begin for S&E. Please do not be late to either. Failure to make sectionals could lead to replacement in the varsity ensemble. Failure to make ensemble rehearsal could mean the dropping of your ensemble for S&E contest.

We still have a few dozen boxes from the second round left. We'll continue to sell until either they're all gone, or no one is checking out boxes.
