SUPER IMPORTANT! PLEASE READ ALL OF THIS!! IF YOU KNOW SOMEONE WHO DOES NOT NORMALLY CHECK THE BLOG, TELL THEM TO CHECK! IF YOU KNOW SOMEONE WHO DOES NOT LOOK ON THE INTERNET, CALL THEM AND TELL THEM ABOUT THIS!


#1. We are no longer going to State Band Festival. Reasons include:
a. Too many choir kids in conflict with their state solo and ensemble
b. too much to get ready with collage and New York Trip
c. Too many kids saying they could not make it
We apologize if this inconveniences anyone. Although it is disapointing, we feel that this will make things a little easier and less crazy.


#2. Dress rehearsal for collage begins at 6pm for Jazz band large ensemble and 7:00pm for symphony band and percussion ensemble

#3. COllage is at 7:30 pm THursday april 22nd in the high school auditorium. Yes, I know all other events in the band universe start at 7:00 pm, but this is a choir hosted event (Howellpallooza was a band hosted event).

#4. There is a mandatory parent/ student meeting in the choir room tomorrow night (tuesday, april 20th) concerning the new york trip. All information and forms will be distributed at that time.

#5. All percussion people involved in cecillia and the central park performance will need to attend a rehearsal with ryan edwards this wednesday afternoon from 3:30pm to 5:30 pm.
