Hello everyone,

Today’s performance will be held indoors in the Gym due to persistent rain conditions.
As we always say — “It Never Rains on the PCMB!!” 

Here’s what this will mean:
—Afternoon rehearsal begins as normal at 2:30pm today.
—Report time for parents/family bringing food to the Commons is 4:30-4:45pm
—Doors to the Gym will open at 4:30pm for spectators
—The performance will begin at 5:00pm
—Following the performance, students will put away their belongings and then hop in line for food.  Families and friends are welcome to go thru the food line after the students.
—We will still sell tickets tonight for the Pie in the Face Fundraiser in the Commons, but the Pie in the Face will be postponed to Monday night, Aug 17th at 9:00pm (after rehearsal, on the lot).  Still bring cash to purchase one of the limited Guaranteed Tickets for $20!

See you all very soon!💙💛🎶
