Solo and Ensemble Volunteers:  Reminder that Solo & Ensemble is coming up fast on Saturday, February 6th!  Please CLICK HERE to sign up on the sign-up genius and support our students.   Having the “outside the room” monitor to help students know if the performance room is running ahead, behind or on-time and the “in-room assistant” to announce the student’s name and performance selection helps support our students and helps the judges give the students maximum attention.   Please thoughtfully considering volunteering for a 2 hour time slot during Solo and Ensemble.  We have over 800 events in 18 performance rooms to support!  Service hours are available for students at the office on completion of their shift.
