Great Rehearsal! Practice at Home!

We had a great rehearsal last week!  We are in the final stages of preparing Wassail!  Please make sure your child is practicing at home.  There are practice files on the drive.  Focusing on 10,11 and 12 will be very helpful.  Reviewing the rest will help solidify the music for you!

Thank you to the Boyce family who brought some great cupcakes to rehearsal!  Happy Birthday, Lauren!

Happy Practicing,
Ms. Pegouske
