Chocolates
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.

Solo & Ensemble
Solo and Ensemble entries have to be finalized this Thursday. Please communicate to me any questions or concerns as we finalize entries.
Most of our practice will be outside of class! You MUST be practicing DAILY to be successful! If you don't coordinate practices with directors, we will drop your entry.
