At the school:
- Turn into the main RHS parking lot and go all the way to the back of it (toward the school).

Library
Here's the latest Excel spreadsheet listing every arrangement in our music library. It contains two spreadsheets: one in alphabetical order, the other in numerical. Click the tabs at the bottom of the screen to change between them. The eighth note symbol indicates that we have an MP3 available of that tune. The pink field indicates a chart in storage; it's not currently passed out to the band.
