The Corvallis Community Band will NOT rehearse  on Tuesday, May 15, 2012.  There is a Fifth Grade Open House at LPMS that evening.  We found out about that on Friday.  We may have to cancel the May 22 rehearsal, too--but Steve is working on that one.  The CHS band room is not available either Tuesday night, so we can't go there.  We may have to rehearse on another night next week, if the LPMS band room is free.  We'll let you know as soon as we figure things out.  

Social Time:  Thanks to the Trumpet Section for the goodies last week!  We all enjoyed them.
