REHEARSAL NIGHT CHANGE
We will rehearse on Monday, October 30 instead of Tuesday, October 31 (Halloween), same time. We cannot afford to skip any rehearsals so it is imperative that you attend this rehearsal.
Sectionals
We are still holding sectionals prior to our weekly meetings in preparation for our Gospel Concert. Chad will start these at 6:00 for those able to attend. Please make an effort to attend your section’s week.
This week: Leads
