Rehearsal Schedule

Posted on by

You will find the rehearsal attached here: LACW Rehearsal Schedule 2-28-17

Please note that we will have rehearsal the week of spring break (March 28) this year. While we are normally off this week, I believe we will need all the rehearsal time possible. I realize that some of you may be out of town with your families that week, my hope is that we will have enough players here to hold a substantive rehearsal.
Hope to see you all Tuesday!
