2006 Big Purple Summer Rehearsal Schedule

SUMMER BAND ACTIVITIES (as of 6/16/06)

Note to Freshmen and Transfer Students: Summer band activities have been scheduled at “points of least resistance” during August Passport and Welcome Week.  Most conflicts will be with intramural and “playtime” activities and have been coordinated with and approved by the First-Year Program.  If you have any concerns or questions, please contact Ms. Steele at 325-674-2240 or via email at natalie.steele@acu.edu.
