Well, it’s the week of the Neuqua Invite, so we are on an odd schedule week. Just because there are one hundred and one million other activities happening this week, including our meet, the Crystal Concert, Youth and Gov’t., and so forth, does not mean that practicing on your own shouldn’t at least try and happen.
I will be seeing top two strings this week in the following:
Radio – Andrew (1)
Radio – Rebekah (1)
Poetry – Tiffany (1)
Poetry – Rebakah (1) – Feel free to sign up for one hour with your radio spot if you want
