BOA: Tim Willard
Regionals this year will be in Indianapolis on October 29th. It will be a one-day trip and we are taking Croswell Motor Coaches. Nationals are on November 11th and 12th in Indianapolis. We are performing at 4pm on that Friday and will probably follow a similar schedule to last year with a practice during the day at Beechwood High School, lunch at the church (if possible), travel to Indy, check into the hotel and dress for the afternoon performance. The plan is to have a nice dinner that evening. We will be staying overnight for one night. Tim requested Embassy Suites again. Tickets for Saturday are pending. The students will travel to nationals on Croswell Motor Coaches.
