Each school will be assigned one room which will serve as
both your homeroom and warm-up room. Since there will be
no piano or keyboard in this room, you are encouraged to
bring a keyboard to use for warming up. There must be at
least one adult in this room at all times. Please clean
up before you leave and see that the room is arranged just
as you found it.
