Dear Ryan Band Member:
Well, our first rehearsal is in the books. Everyone did a great job.
We had a lot more people at the Thursday rehearsal than on Wednesday. It would be great if a few people could switch from Thursday to Wednesday. (If you can't, don't worry about it - but if you can, it will help balance out the groups.)
What's your homework for this week? Practice two sticker songs.
What's your homework for next week? Practice two sticker songs.
How about the week after? Practice two sticker songs.
Notice a pattern?

African Festival is starting to come together. Well, the beginning of it is, anyway. 
Start practicing the rest of it, now, too. It's similar, but the tune changes a little bit each time. We'll look at the middle of the song this week, and re-visit the Lava Field.
