UPCOMING LEADERSHIP SESSIONS
DUE TO A JAZZ CLINIC CONFLICT, WE WILL NEED TO ADJUST OUR LEADERSHIP SCHEDULE THIS WEEK.
I would like to meet with all drum major candidates on TUESDAY AND FRIDAY DURING TIGER TIME THIS WEEK. If you are not in the band tiger time class, you will need to acquire passes during your band class.
The full leadership session will be MOVED TO FRIDAY, MARCH 28, from 4:45pm-6:15pm. We will hold this session INSIDE, BUT YOU WILL STILL NEED TO WEAR YOUR MARCHING BAND ATTIRE.
Please let me know ASAP if you have any conflicts with any of these adjustments to the leadership schedule.
