I hope everyone had a good summer, and are at least starting to think about the coming year ahead.  I would like to get the members of the quartets and Rhapsody in Blues together before the start of the school year to get ahead on the upcoming year’s music, as well come together as a group and get to know each other.  I would like to meet with everyone on the following days: MONDAY, AUGUST 17TH - QUARTET REHEARSALS:  I would like to meet with 4Ward On! from 9 to 10:30 am, and 4 Quarters from 10:30 am to noon.  Please bring your music with you, as we will be planning out the coming year. Let me know ASAP if you cannot make the Monday practice, so we can reschedule.   TUESDAY, AUGUST  18TH - RHAPSODY IN BLUES from 9:00 to 2:00 in the high school choir room.  Lunch will  be provided.  We will be working on new music, as well as getting the new members up to speed on some of the favorite repertoire from past years.  I would like to have...

Best of Luck to the Men of 4Ward On! (Branden Fike,  Robbie Jenkins, Mitchell Amos, and Eli Lewis) as they compete in the International Collegiate Quartet Competition tomorrow night (Tuesday, June 30th) at Heinz Hall.  They will be competing against 24 other quartets from around the world.  Congratulations and Good Luck!
