IMPORTANT REHEARSAL CHANGE!!!!

Mr. Lamana is ill today so there will only be rehearsal for CHORUS. Rehearsal will end at 6:50 tonight Tuesday Jan 31st.

Pictures!!

2012-01-27T16:32:00.000-08:00

We need pictures for contact lists for the directors! Send me your picture at monkey@karenlake.com, or I will take a picture the next time you are at rehearsal. Your picture will be used for nothing else other than the contact list, only for the directors. Please send your picture as soon as possible! Thank You!

Being Ready for Rehearsals

2012-01-27T16:21:00.000-08:00

If you have a rehearsal after another rehearsal for some one else (i.e. if the Didos have rehearsal 5-6, and you start rehearsal at 6), come in the rehearsal room when your rehearsal starts, not when the other one ends (i.e. come in at 6 if your rehearsal starts at 6, even if the rehearsal before you is not over). This will make more time for practice and make the performance that much better!
