FESTIVAL

Dianne's studio festival handout was too good. Only an experienced chairman could come up with that! So I have published it in the yearbook as a festival registration guide handout for parents. 

ENSEMBLES

The parent/student handout for ensembles is in the yearbook at: http://bluebonnetmta.org/yearbook.html
It contains information that parents will want.
