Text Box: I know this is a busy schedule, but hopefully it will leave you some time to get settled into the dorms if applicable and to be able to spend some time meeting new friends.  Our goals are to have all of pre-game learned and cleaned; to have the first show learned and cleaned; and to have the music to the first two shows learned and polished.  We’ll try to mix in some fun and laughs along the way as well.
