When assigning sessions, it helps us to know if you are also performing in a school ensemble, e.g. elementary band or orchestra groups; PMHS chamber chorus, chamber orchestra, jazz band, AcaPelicans, etc. If you don't know, that's OK -- just put your school music teachers' names and we'll check with them.
