Game #2 Pictures and Wind Ensemble Rehearsal
"The Pride of Shaker Heights" lived up to their name and received many compliments, as well as a standing ovation, from the crowd at Avon Lake last Friday. Pictures from Game #2 can be found here.
On Tuesday and Wednesday of this week, last year's Wind Ensemble members will be rehearsing together during first period to begin sight-reading literature for this year's performances. They will not be working on any of the audition music. Last year's members need to bring their concert instruments to rehearsal. All other band members will meet in sectionals.
