No uniforms may be placed in the band room. Anyone without FULL UNIFORM will be excluded and will be sent back to class.
- You will have lunch at some point during the lunch periods. The full band may not have lunch at the same time.
- Some students will be called down to the band room during periods 1-2.
- We should be finished by the end of period 6. Expect to return to your period 7 class.
See you tomorrow!
