Character Matters!

As many of you have heard, our class is going to be doing a play this next month! All the roles are assigned already and scripts are sent out. In the next few days I'll do my best to get as much information out to you as I can. As for now, here is a link where you can watch and listen to the songs being performed by a different class. (Ours will definitely be better though, don't worry!)
