Hello Team:

Yes, DGN is in the books and the novices performed as well as any coach could ask! Thank you varsity members for your attention and work helping to get the novices ready.

Now, it’s on to two meets per weekend. For the varsity member…Hello, Wheaton North. Being a goofy school week with parent/teacher conferences, it’s going to be a challenge to get to everyone, but I know you will all continue rehearsing regardless of if you are seeing me or not.

REMEMBER—On Monday and Thursday, YOU ALL MUST CLEAR OUT OF THE D-WING BY 4:00! No exceptions. Teachers need to get ready for the parents. Be respectful of that.

On Monday and Tuesday, you will meet me in B206 because that’s how I need it to be for this week. Thank you.
