No rehearsals this Friday - Happy Thanksgiving!

We will meet on December 1st for our last rehearsal for the semester.

Recital is December 7th at 7pm.

Christmas Recital

Our annual Christmas recital has been scheduled for Thursday, December 7th, at Christ Community Church - 1100 Harvard, in Lawrence.  The recital begins at 7pm, Students are asked to arrive by 6:30 that evening, to warm up and tune.

Students typically wear concert black and white to our recitals.

Thinking ahead - we DO NOT meet the Friday AFTER Thanksgiving. We will have one rehearsal between Thanksgiving and the recital, December 1st.

The "penny drive" is still going, and will be for the remainder of the school year. Thanks to all of you that have added your change - and some paper money as well.

Thanks for getting our semester off to a great start!
