Download the following pieces of music, print them, and place them in a three-ring binder to bring to all rehearsals.
Learn the notes for all songs by Sunday that correspond to the part you were assigned on the above list.

Our fall rehearsals will begin Sunday night, August 9th, at 7pm in Mable Lee Hall in the dance studio on 2nd floor. Use the usual west entrance (there are numerous west entrances, use the upper entrance that is the most southern). There will be signs on doors. Since our time with April James is very limited, we will get right to work on the staging and choreography of the pieces.

We have an wonderful opportunity to perform at NMEA in November, among many other opportunities. Also, reserve Saturday PM (1pm rehearsals on risers and an open 7:30pm performance in rm130 in Westbrook) on August 29th for a early-bird start-of-school preview performance similar to last year's.

Rehearsal schedule for the week:
Sunday, 7-10pm
Monday, 9-noon, 1:30-5pm, 7-10pm
Tuesday, 9-noon, 1:30-5pm, 7-10pm
Wednesday, 9-noon, 1:30-5pm, 7-10pm
Thursday, 9-noon, 1:30-5pm, 7-10pm
Friday, 9-noon, 1:30-5pm, BBQ at Eklund house
