- Note the concert band December concert date so you don’t double-book!
- Look at what we’re rehearsing next week so by looking at the notes chart, you know where to prioritize/se practising.
- Listen to the recording links of what we’re doing next week! Helps heaps.
- Read through the rest of the email.
