From Coach Irwin

I hope everyone enjoyed some time off with your kids, and had an opportunity to experience the solar eclipse to some extent. 

Here are the dates that we promised!

We did not plan any official team practices the first week of school. I understand kids may be anxious to start, so if there is interest I am willing to adjust my schedule to meet with those who would like to practice Thursday before school 6:30-7:30am. Otherwise I would like to encourage the kids to enjoy the first week of school!

Schedule:
Mon, Wed, Friday(Aug 28, 30, & Sept 1) @ 6:30-7:45Am.
Friday, (Sept. 1st) @ 3:10-5:00PM.
Wed, Friday(Sep 6, Sep. 8) @ 6:30-7:45AM. 

Assembly Sept. 8th, time TBA. We adjusted our bell schedule, so I will forward info ASAP. 

Audition info coming once everything has been approved. 


I am excited to see the kids again! I enjoy coaching more then performing, and have missed working with the kids during the time off for my training.
