** NO uniforms tomorrow - since we are doing a full day, they don't want students stuck in uniforms and logistically is too hard for them all to store their uniforms and change into them. * there IS still concert band tomorrow morning, Wednesday, May 22 at 7:15am! This is our second last rehearsal before our concert. Very important that all students are in attendance! Thanks! :)
