Thursday rehearsal

All Band students need to have their official Band T-shirts and Khaki bottoms (shorts or pants) on Thursday for afterschool rehearsal.  We will be having our picture taken for the football program right after school.  It is okay to wear other clothes to school and change during class or after school.
