Normally we rehearse in the band room but while the air conditioning and roof are being repaired, we are rehearsing in the Assembly Hall on the opposite side of the building. Use the Kingswood Lane entrance off of Northside Drive (next to the Church). The Assembly Hall is the football shaped building on the left. We will be rehearsing there until further notice.
