Parent Meeting Reminder

The Parent Meeting is tomorrow, Sept 26th, after rehearsal, 11:15 am to 12:00 noon, Promontory School, 1051 W 2700 S, Perry.

We will be collecting "acceptance, release and payment" forms, tuition payments, and "retreat" forms. The forms are in the handout packets we distributed at auditions, but we will have extra forms available at the meeting. If you are scheduled to audition tomorrow before rehearsal, you should have received your handout in the mail this week.

Thanks!
