Rehearsal Schedule

A complete rehearsal and performance schedule is available below. It outlines the plan from start to finish. Keep in mind, however, that while we try to follow this plan as much as possible, it is inevitable that changes will be made along the way.

Here on the website, and on the front desk at the studio, we will keep the schedule fully up-to-date with whatever changes become necessary. So be sure to check one or the other of these locations immediately prior to each weekend.
