Attention all GHS flutes,
Ms. Cleary is organizing a flute choir open to any and all GHS flutes for performance at the ensemble contest. We have chosen Rondo Caprice by Missal which is a class one ensemble. I will be ordering the music soon and everyone can pitch in to reimburse me for the music. Please reach out to me at stinejay@yahoo.com or 469-223-9045 so I can assign you a part and get the music to you!
Thanks,
Christine Cleary
