Updates for this Thursday, Friday, Sunday

Dear band and orchestra students and parents,

1. Due to an urgent construction/repair project taking place in the sanctuary at Christ Memorial our rehearsal tomorrow morning will be at HCHS in the gym. Students should arrive at school by 7:00 and be seated in the gym in their seat tuned by 7:15 a.m. The seating will be different than normal.

2. Our call time for Sunday for orchestra is moved up to 1:00 p.m. Please be in your seat by 1:00 p.m. for a tuning note. If you forgot your instrument or music you can meet me at school on Sunday at 12:30 p.m.

3. Due to the forecast for rain and because the gym will be used for the Oratorio practice, there will not be early marching practice tomorrow.

4. The brass, woodwind and percussion members of symphonic orchestra will meet Friday morning at 7:15 a.m. to practice Tchaikovsky's Symphony No. 2.

Thank you!
Mr. VB
