Just a few reminders about Bandlink Solo and Ensemble this Saturday, March 23:

–Check your email for details from the directors, including your student’s solo time

-Plan to arrive at the Ricci Band Rehearsal Hall 20-30 minutes before your student’s scheduled solo time in order to make sure that they have enough time to check in and warm up, as traffic from the Holy Half Marathon may cause delays

Good luck to all participants!
