    • Make sure that students are arriving in appropriate clothing to rehearsal. Tennis shoes and athletic apparel are what all students should be wearing. Denim, flip flops, etc. are not acceptable. This is for student safety. If students show up to rehearsal in clothing that prohibits them to fully participate, they will be asked to call home to get appropriate clothing. 
    • Please make sure all booster/district payments are taken care of ASAP. If you have a question of whether something has been paid/unpaid, please reach out.
