Trip people: It is VITAL that we get caught up with trip payments. Money needs to be going into the drop box for those going on the trip. If there is an extenuating financial circumstance, you MUST communicate with me. FURTHER, if we purchase your plane ticket and you decide to drop after the fact, your plane ticket cost will still be charged to your account. These tickets are non refundable.
Solo & Ensemble is fast approaching. Three weeks - please be practicing!
