rehearsal cancelled this week.

I just found out that the National Honor Society is having a ceremony Wednesday night in the auditorium. So... we must cancel rehearsal. I dont think they would like listening to us practice. Also, due to the Choir concert on Thursday night, we will not have rehearsal then either. So rehearsals are cancelled for this week.

We will resume next week. Please spend some time working on your music!!

I will still be teaching lessons both days.

Rehearsals start this week

Just a reminder that rehearsals begin this week. Rehearsals are Wednesday and Thursday through Dec. 16th. Pit will rehearse from 6:30-7:45 and battery from 7:45-9:00.

Be safe and I will see you in the morning!

Solo and Ensemble Contest Cancelled

According to the OMEA website, solo and ensemble contest has been cancelled tomorrow.


There is still no new info for our drumline contest on Sunday. They have cancelled the show on Saturday at Hamilton however. The guard was scheduled to attend that show.

As soon as I get any info on Sunday I will post it. Please continue to check the blog often for updates.

Game cancelled tonight

If you have not already heard, the basketball game tonight has been cancelled. Senior Night is now on Tuesday. All Seniors need to be at that game.

I have not heard anything about solo and ensemble contest yet, or our Bellbrook contest. As soon as I hear something I will post it. Stay tuned and please be VERY careful if you are out driving for any reason.

Weather

As you may be aware we are expecting some snow on Friday and Saturday. This could result in the game being cancelled on Friday night and issues with Solo and Ensemble Contest on Saturday and our contest on Sunday. Please pay attention to the news and school website for updates. I will also post any news I hear on this blog.
Most likely the Contest on Sunday will be unaffected, but make sure to check the blog often. If anything is cancelled I will post it!
