• The 8th graders do not need to be at sectionals at Eastern on Tuesday.  Good luck at your preassessment performance at Seneca!
• Friday schedule: We will rehearse after school until 5:00.  Dinner break is at 5:00 and there will be pizza and drinks available for purchase just like we do for football games.  Rehearse will start back at 5:45 and students will be dismissed at 8:00.
• Saturday: We will rehearse from 9-12 and 1-4.  Students should report back to Eastern at 6:00 and the concert is at 7:00.  PLEASE invite family, friend and alumni to come hear us play!  THIS CONCERT WILL BE AMAZING!
• LADIES - You should have a pearl necklace and pearl earrings to wear with your dress.  You need this for Saturday, Concert Festival and Carnegie Hall.
• Please make sure you have appropriate footwear for all concerts!
