Sorry this is later than usual. Hopefully everyone gets the message!

I am in St George for a funeral, and will not be at rehearsal this Saturday. Josie Anderson will be running rehearsal. Please be extra helpful and come early to help her set up!

Please be sure to use the attendance form if you will be absent, arriving late or leaving early. The link is at the bottom of every email.

If you are not playing the concert, you should have already talked to me about it, and your folder needs to be turned in to Josie this Saturday.

Please review concert attire and be prepared for next Saturday.
