WALKING ON AIR COMPETITION TIME

We are scheduled to perform at 8:35am in the auditorium. That means you must be there at 7:35am!! Yippee!! Sara Larsen I know you're supposed to be to the Conference Center at 9:30am - but we had our rehearsal last night and they don't even let you into the building until your scheduled time of 10:00am - so you only miss out on the standing and waiting around, if you plan on leaving straight from the competition. I hope this works out for everyone because it is now set in stone. See you Saturday, bright and early!!
