If you can be at music room early, Please do your individual practice! Do not sit there and chit chat.

The practices start 30 minutes later than last year. Please be seated and ready by 315pm on Mondays and ready by 215pm on Fridays.

The practices will end promptly and you will be dismissed before 630pm definitely.

*******It is less than 100 days away from your SYF*******
Please try to do your sectionals on thursdays for those who can make it.
If you can make it without parent complaint but choose not to attend because you don't feel like coming, then it's a big disappointment.
