Regular Rehearsals Begin This Week

All of the extra-curricular musical groups will be starting up this week. See the schedule below for more information.

Thank you to all of the students who auditioned for show band! As these groups require small numbers, not everyone was accepted at this time. If you were not accepted, remember to try again next year - and you can also be involved in the school choir and spring musical!

That said - there is one keyboard spot open, as well as one guitar spot. These spots were not filled by grade 5 & 6 students and are now open to grade 4 students. There is a meeting today for interested students. The auditions will take place on Friday, September 27 at 12:10PM in the music room.
