We held auditions last week for next semester and those results should come out this week. This is part of your exam grade along with the Winter Concert! We still have a few students who have not turned in their scales that were due on Friday at 4:00 pm to the google form (http://shorturl.at/fwBC1). This could impact their grade and placement if they don't submit. They must submit before we leave on Monday. It's a 3 minute (or less) video and they were also given Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday in class to do it. Mr. Tankesley is leaving town to attend a conference and we need to move forward with our audition results and final grades. If a student is on this list and they believe they shouldn't be, just have them come talk to us on Monday. List updated at 12:00 pm on Sunday: Flutes: Loklinn H.
