2. The north doors to HCHS and the band/orchestra room doors will be open between 2 p.m. and 6 p.m. today so that you can stop in school to pick up your instruments for home practice and for pep band.

3. Symphonic Band playing test is due Monday.

4. Orchestra playing test is due next Friday. 

5. Keep practicing solo and ensemble festival music!

Thank you,
