Solo and Ensemble
Solo and Ensemble is this Saturday at Bloomington North High School. In the forms section you will find a excel sheet with our individual times and room to warm up and perform and a PDF from Bloomington North with a school map and all details of Saturday's activities. I would suggest getting to Bloomington North 45 minutes before listed performance time to give plenty of time to park, find their rooms and warm up. If there are any questions or problems I will be there the full day and you can contact me via cell phone! GOOD LUCK to all performers and "May the odds be in your favor!"
