Your Class Schedule
Until audition results are announced, it is best not to enroll in any course that meets:
- Mondays or Wednesdays, 4:00–5:15 PM (Wind Symphony)
- Tuesdays or Thursdays, 1:00–3:45 PM (Wind Ensemble)
By avoiding these days & times, you will not create a scheduling conflict between band rehearsal times and your other classes.
