We are going to read some more literature during class this week. Hopefully the pieces on order will arrive Thursday, and we get some after school time in next week. Stay tuned to the announcements for rehearsal times, as we have play to contend with. I will have an announcement on Thursday and Friday regarding rehearsal times next week. Invite your friends who used to play instruments to rehearsals, as this might be a way to strengthen our program for the new semester.
