Band Assignment due 11/13/14

Wow!  So thankful God put it all together today.  All the groups sounded great!  Can't wait to hear how well it will sound at our Fall Concert next week!  Be sure to invite friends and family....

Please keep up the practicing on the concert pieces- we will be playing all four tunes.  Also, time to get working on those Christmas Carols we passed out during rehearsal today.  We will be rehearsing Nov. 20 at 1pm on those.

Please check your email this week for more updates on next week's concert.  We will have afternoon rehearsal as usual on Nov. 13.

Blessings,

Mrs. Karen
