Attention Members!!

Hey gang! A little up date for you. I met with the captains yesterday. You should be hearing from them shortly to get your music and set up dates and times for sectionals. I have posted the links to the music under the Links section on this blog. Listen to them!! It is a great practice tool.

Be on the look out for whole ensemble rehearsal dates coming soon. Get learning that music and marching!! Any questions, contact me. Thanks! R and R.
