Please be sure your child has a "LYRE" for their instrument by the 1st day of school.   You can get them at Music and Arts in Westerville, Rettig Music in Dublin or any other music store.  You can also call Pellegrino Music in Canton and they'll deliver it to the school for you!!!  You'll need to know the make and model of the instrument as lyres are not a one size fits all kind of item! 2). During the first week of school the kids will have band practice on Wednesday and Thursday from 5-7 PM in preparation for their first performance on that Friday, the 18th!   The Bash in the Burg is also scheduled at the church on Thursday the 17th and they'll be inviting
