SCHEDULE CHANGES/REMINDERS
We are moving the October 2nd Rehearsal back to Tuesday, October 1st. This is to allow students to attend Homecoming events. This does conflict with ILMEA Auditions, however, those students will be excused to attend auditions.
Reminder as this approaches: September 26th there is no rehearsal due to a choir concert. The rehearsal is on Friday, September 27th, instead.

If a student needs to be absent from an event(such as rehearsal or performance), you must submit the absence through the form on the website. http://www.pnhsbands.com/absence-request-form/
