As we await confirmation from the bus company, we are going to assume that everything works out because you all need to be able to make plans.
Regarding the permission slip - I need it this Saturday! I will bring all this on Saturday printed out for you, but if you want to be on the ball, just print and fill it out for me now. You can take a picture and send it, or hand it to me when you arrive for the dress rehearsal.
Okay, here's all the Abravanel Hall info. Last year we were first. This year we are last! Let's end the day with a big booming blast!
