Varsity Band:

you should be getting an e-mail from me today.  if you do not, please e-mail me!

music should be in the google drive and an updated repertoire list should be listed as well.

drumline needs to check the google drive for music and recordings.  i will put some videos up by the end of the week.

please let me know if you have any questions.  if you are able to work a little bit everyday you will be much better off than slamming a bunch in at the end.
