Please note the warm-up schedule for this concert:
Daily Mass will be taking place in the chapel prior to the concert. Utmost respect and quiet is needed. Please enter through the doors in the lower parking lot if possible.
  
Please enjoy the art show in the school from 4:30 - 6:30 pm. Then, all students will warm-up in Archangels Hall at 6:30 pm. Please keep your student with you until warm-up time.
  
Doors for the concert will open at 6:30 pm.
