Good Day Rangers!

We are quickly approaching the end of the year however, we are still working on projects and rehearsing final playing exams.  Symphony orchestra (minus the seniors) are rehearsing music for graduation this coming Monday.  Dress is our orchestra uniforms for this event-girls in their black tops and pants/skirts and boys in the tuxes.  Remember, black socks/tights and black dress shoes. Symphony orchestra should meet in the front of the high school at 5:00 PM this coming Monday, May 21 and will catch a bus to Sunshine Community Church.  We will play from 6-6:45 then the symphony will ride back on the bus to the high school.  They should return around 7:15-7:30 PM.  As always, students and groups are asked to ride the bus to free up parking space for family at graduation and 5 o'clock traffic is bad this time of night.  Be on time!  Please plan on picking them up at 7:15 PM at the high school.  Julie Squillante will be riding the bus to and from the church and I will meet them there.  Thank you Julie!!

Symphony boys:  please plan on returning your tuxes on Tuesday May 22.

Thank you for a great year!  You all rock!!  I look forward to what we will accomplish next year.

Congratulations to our new booster board members!  President Joel Elsenbroek, Vice President Nahid Murphy, Secretary Lori Martin, and Treasurer Belinda Chou.
