In light of recent rehearsal conflicts, the following changes are being made for Tuesday Jazz Band rehearsals:

• Tomorrow's rehearsal (Tuesday 4/29) from 5:30-8:30 will be for winds only - no rhythm section
• In order to be prepared for our Spring Fling performance, we will be going back to our regular rehearsal schedule for the next 2 weeks. This means we'll be rehearsing 3:00pm-6:00pm on Tuesday 5/6 and 5/13; and 5:30pm-8:30pm on Thursday 5/8 and 5/15.

Don't forget - no jazz rehearsal this Thursday due to Jr. MAJE! Don't forget to sign up for a time to help us run the festival.

Don't forget! This coming Thursday (a half-day) is the Jr. MAJE Festival at Stoughton High School. Signups for student jobs will be up on Monday when we get back from break. We will need lots of volunteers... the more the merrier!

Tuesday Jazz Band: see you 8:30 tomorrow for our trip to Framingham! Our performance is at 11:30 at Cameron Middle School. Awards are at 5:30pm and we should be back home by around 6:45pm.

The trip to Philadelphia is just around the corner!! Don't forget to return the form at the end of the Trip Handbook, signed by you and your parent. You must return this form in order to go on the trip. The handbook can be viewed
