Dear Believers Band,

This Monday’s rehearsal will be in sections.  It is supposed to rain and therefore, we will move inside.

This is the schedule:
6 – 7:30 – rehearse in sections in designated rooms.
7:30 – Put everything away.  Return the rooms to the way we found them.  Be sure not to disturb the hand bell choir rehearsal. 
7:40 – I would like to meet with the section leaders in the choir room

Here are the locations for rehearsal:  (See map for room locations)
