Saturday March 19th will be the Jazz Fest at St. Aloysius I cannot attend this even as it is the same day as my school musical so there will be a guest conductor running the band. Call time is 6:00PMShow starts at 7:00PM

Other Rehearsals- Depending on how Sunday Feb 28th Goes I may try to squeeze 1 extra rehearsal before our competitions start I will let the students and parents know after this weekend if we need more time to prep!
