-THANKS TO EVERYONE INVOLVED IN LAST WEEKS WINCHESTER PERFORMANCE!!!! It was a wonderful way to kick of the tour, and everyone played great!

I also wanted to take a moment to thank all of you for being so patient with our summer scheduling issues. The hectic schedules of students and teachers alike have made things a bit more inconsistent than I would prefer. But, summer is almost over (boo) and we will be back to a solid schedule come Fall.

Thanks!!!
