Concert: Mr. Taylor needs help with maintaining discipline with groups that aren’t singing. Quality of the music is good. We need to find ways to remind people of good manners and remind people about entering during performances. Tickets? Season pass?

IMPORTANT!!!  A parent or family representative must attend the Tour Meeting Night on January 5 at 7pm.  The booster meeting is right before at 6:30pm.  If parents have decided that their student will not be attending the tour, they must contact Mr. Taylor before the semester transition.  There are no penalties for not attending the tour, but failure to inform before the semester could result in a Classics student sitting out second semester.
