CANCELLATION - DRILL TEAM - 12 JAN 23

12/1/2023

0 Comments

 
Good afternoon, 

With the forecasted storm coming and the freezing rain that is currently falling, I have made the decision to cancel tonight's drill team session. While the roads may be okay now, I would hate for parents to have to brave the incoming storm to collect their cadet at 9pm. 

I apologize for the number of cancellations lately. Luck and the weather do not seem to be in our favour lately!
