1. oratorio
2. patron
3. repertory
4. improvising
5. harpsichord

Thursday this week, we have a 6th grade camp parent meeting in the gym. This will start at 6:30 and end at 7:30. We will go over what the students need to bring to camp, the camp schedule, the camp forms, money issues, and try to answer any questions you might have. If you cannot make it, I will be going over this information with the students after spring break. Hope to see you there!
