BYE BYE BIRDIE:
The REQUIRED meeting for ALL Allegro Parents has been rescheduled. The new date is Monday, January 28th at 7:00pm in the high school choir room (Room 203). Please make plans to attend this very important and informative meeting. It will last less than one hour…promise! These young, talented performers are your children. Thanks so much for your support of them and our program.

ALLEGRETTO NOTTE: Is being held on, Monday, January 21st. Registration is from 9:00am-9:30am. Don’t forget your sack lunches. Dinner is being provided…PIZZA! The Allegros are looking forward to great times making music with new people. The evening performance begins at 7:00pm. Tickets cost $3 and are available at the door before the show.
NEW!! Attention all Allegros!!! We will be learning the dance to FAME in the dance room TONIGHT. We will be meeting from 5:30 to 6:30. PLEASE TRY TO BE THERE. I realize that this is short notice and our schedules are really hectic but, please, think of the CHILDREN. It would be really great if we actually knew what we were doing before the kiddies got here on Monday. If you’re going to be late and/or can’t attend you don’t have to tell me or Mr. Lawton. But we do have an all-cast Allegros rehearsal so if your planning on going to that it would be just as easy to go @ 5:30 and just stay there.
Thanks!! ♥Jill”
