General thoughts from Gail:
I wanted you to have all these dates and times ASAP so you can make sure to work around them when you plan any trips, ensuring you can participate.

Spread the word to other talented individuals. We are sending emails to all the SB Performing Arts Groups that are registered in both HOAs, but you may know about people in other informal SaddleBrooke groups that might like to participate.

We will add more information as it becomes available. To contact us or to request more information, please use our Contact Form.
