Date Change - Beginning Band After School Rehearsal Please note that we’ve had to change the date of our after school rehearsal for beginning band students! The rehearsal will now be on May 1st from 2:45-4pm in the band room. This is to accommodate the spring dance, which is scheduled on April 30th. If your student is unable to attend the new date, please email me to excuse their absence.
