After School Rehearsals

After school rehearsals begin on September 8. These rehearsals go from 2 - 4 every Thursday (except during breaks, of course) at the high school. Attendance at these rehearsals constitutes 300 points of the corresponding concert grade.

All West Excerpts

I have put a page up for the All West excerpts. At this time, I'm still waiting on the cello music.

Textbooks

Please make sure that you have your textbook with you. We will spend a large portion of our immediate future doing skill building and scales.
