SOM Jan-Feb Rehearsal Schedule

Hi Everyone.

It's hard to believe that we're almost done working on the music already.  These last 2 weeks have just flown by.........I must say that I'm very impressed with how quickly you all have picked up these songs.  They sound GREAT.  We have one last music and dance rehearsal on Saturday and then we'll be taking a break for the holidays.  I hope you all have enjoyed the rehearsals so far and I'm looking forward to continuing the process of building this show with you all in January and February.

Here's the schedule for January and February.  Remember that there are MANY factors that we considered when making this schedule and we are doing the best we can to accommodate everyone's needs.  I'll have paper copies for you all on Saturday.  See you then!
