We will be starting to clean out lockers soon. If you have anything in your locker, you need to clean it out and take it home over the summer. Anything left behind will be thrown away or absorbed into the school's inventory. TAKE YOUR INSTRUMENTS HOME!

Anyone with a school instrument, if you are NOT planning on playing next year, you need to return it before the end of the year. Varsity Blues neckties should be returned. ALL MUSIC should be turned in (except per 3 final exam music and 5/6/7 Promotion music.) Any remaining music will be collected as soon as the event is over. 

Don't forget to fill out the conflict form after you let me know if you have to miss a rehearsal.
