Hi guys,
I think it it safer to make the call now that there will be no band rehearsal today due to the overnight dumping of snow.

ROCK BANDS
The following people have been selected as the musicians for the Monday and Tuesday morning bands which will begin rehearsing week 9.
(Please take note that I have not selected vocalists yet as I usually spend time with the musicians initially to prepare them for vocalists. There is no use the vocalists becoming bored through a rehearsal because the band are struggling to hold the song together. All vocalists will get into a band. No one will be left out.)
Unfortunately we can only have one drummer per group. The standard was quite high. Thank you for taking the time to audition.
MONDAY 7:45am - 9:00am in the band room.
Lukas Campbell (Drums)
Oliver Stewart (Bass)
Gabe White (Guitar)
Ruby Hamilton (Keyboards)
TUESDAY 7:45am - 9:00am in the band room.
Samantha Johnston (Drums)
Jack Wilson (Guitar)
Hera Winders (Bass)
Nina Smith (Keyboards)
This week(8), I am working with Oliver Stewart and Hera Winders as they have agreed to learn the bass for both of the bands. Well done Oliver and Hera! You are a real TROUPERS!
