HURRICANE IDA
Looks like we could have a storm sitting over us Tuesday and Wednesday next week. This makes Monday’s review of the ballad super important as we plan to put the ballad into the show next week. Tuesday and Wednesday will be utilized to learn the closer music and memorize ballad music.
We will keep a close eye on this storm and us our time wisely. Remember…….rain doesn’t cancel rehearsals, only directors do that! We will watch the weather closely.
Let’s have a great game against the blue birds!!!! Go Trojans!
