Dear Parents and WASO Members,

We have finally reached the moment we have been preparing for — tonight marks the first of our two summer concerts.

A quick reminder: if your child is in the introductory band, wind band, or concert band, there are no rehearsals tonight at Henry Beaufort tonight, just the concert tomorrow!

For the pre-concert rehearsals, please make every effort to arrive well ahead of your allocated rehearsal time. With last week's rehearsals missed, tonight's sessions are especially important, and starting promptly will help ensure everything runs smoothly.

Please see the concert schedule below.
