Our winter concert is here! Students should be making final preparations this evening, and completing their Practice Vlog # 4 that is due by midnight. (see Flip)

Students should report around 6:15 PM tomorrow in full uniform. Students are allowed to wear holiday, festive head wear, but should not impede playing their instrument or the overly flashy.
