Schedule is now posted. Additional detail below. Quick question for the Andover or Northeast show choir folks - Dracut "On Deck" is listed on the schedule within the middle school and treble/bass division section. I'm not sure if that means they're a treble group this year or if they just have an early performance slot. It's not clear. If folks happen to know, just post a comment and we can update as needed.

1:45 pm - Andover BTB
2:10 pm - Treble & Middle School Awards
5:00 pm - Andover NBT
8:10 pm - Andover FSTF
8:45 pm - Mixed Awards
