Rehearsal tonight

Hi All,
  I realize that most of you will see this after tonight's rehearsal, but I want to be consistent and post any way.

Tonight we will be handing out music.  I have assigned parts to both spread the wealth and highlight the talent we have in this ensemble.

See you tonight.

Ken

Welcome Back

Hi All,
  Welcome back.  I hope you had a great summer.  I am so excited to start rehearsals next week.  Don't forget that our first rehearsal will be at Plainville Middle School.  Bring a stand.

In order to help me distribute parts, I am asking everybody to fill out this quick survey.  (It's a google form and may not be compatible on some smart phones)




Thanks
Ken
