A1: getting programs finalized for performances, touching up our songs, running like a chicken with its head cut off #elmused

@JarvelaMused I think we can all sympathize with that feeling #elmused

macch12 May 3 @ 9:10 PM EDT

A1: work backwards to see when each class ends. Start their EOY project in a timely manner (usually first of May) #elmused

JarvelaMused - Moderator May 3 @ 9:10 PM EDT
