All performing members and subs are responsible to download/print (or download to a iPad or similar device) and bring these parts to all rehearsals. Hard copies of parts will not be distributed.

For reference only – alternate rehearsal sites
New Rochelle High School, New Rochelle:
Click here for directions. DO NOT USE GPS!
Irvington Presbyterian Church:
25 North Broadway, Irvington, NY 10533
There is parking in the circle in front of the church and in the lot along the side. Brass meet in the Parlor in the main building (use the side door) and Woodwinds meet in the annex building behind the main building. For more information, click here.
White Plains High School, 550 North Street, White Plains:
See map below. Use 550 North Street as GPS address. Cross street is Bryant Avenue, which has an exit directly off I-287. Although the address is North Street, it is easier to use the parking lot from the Bryant Avenue entrance because of one-way lanes on campus.
Enter from Bryant, then take the first right into the large parking lot. You’ll see the auditorium at the southeast corner of the parking lot. Depending on the weather, there may be a door propped open leading directly into the Auditorium from the parking lot; if not, use the double doors to the right, and walk around to your left.
