Almost there! Thanksgiving break is right around the corner. Again, this week is pretty straight forward, other than the playoff game Friday. If you haven't turned in your Ab Major Scale, please do so ASAP. No late assignments will be accepted after this week.
Remember, All-Region is coming up soon, as well as our Christmas Concert. Please make some time to practice outside of class! Keep your grades up, as they will affect eligibility for the Canyon game, All Region, and a few other late semester activities.
Below is your schedule for the next TWO weeks. (Skipping over Thanksgiving week.) Please plan ahead. Your attendance at every rehearsal is critical to the groups success.
