COLLAGE/SHOWCASE AUDITIONS:
NEW!! Collage rehearsal will be on the 1/2 day, Friday, February 8th. The school day ends at 10:40am that day and rehearsal will be following. Time TBA soon! We start with the big group so most of you will be done fairly quickly–unless you are in Singers, Chamber Choir and/or were selected as a specialty act–then the rehearsal will last longer!
NEW & IMPORTANT!! All Collage and Showcase participants need to see me today for a gathering information session…sounds important, No?
The Collage Concert is coming up quickly. The date is Sunday, February 10th at 3pm in the MSHS Performing Arts Center (PAC).

Their is no applause between numbers as the we move swiftly from one number to the next.
