PLEASE - VIDEO AND TAKE PICTURES
The 15 Tips To Fame article is a checklist to help you and the kids on the day of the show
They need their show intro sheets (they are in the backstage room and I sent them in the email)
Have them play the songs at home on GP8 before they come to the show that day.

FUTURE Show Dates (STUDENT POLL)
Do you have any conflicts if the shows are = Oct 26 & 27th?
I will try to choose the dates with the least conflicts but for years the show date has ALWAYS BEEN, 3rd weekend of the month. This Semester there’s oddly enough 27 weeks, this means we can bump the show to the 4th weekend of the month and gain the extra week for training. Then we record the following week (really knock out the songs in those sessions) and start on the new semester songs following that.
