Graduation is almost here. The purpose of practice is to ensure that each and everyone of you is able to participate in the commencment ceremony on May 19, 2013. We need your cooperation and attention throughout the scheduled practice sessions. The purpose of the school practices are to familiarize you with the overall program, alpha line-up, and songs. We are asking for your patience as there will be down time to help each student with his/her proper placement in line. By Thursday the down time should be reduced if everyone works together and remembers their individual role in the graduation. Please remember that there will be changes throughout the practices regarding line-up and partners. Our goal is to have an organized and professional graduation.
