2/16 GFCC Rehearsal Cancelled

WCSH Storm Central just reported that we may have six hours of freezing rain tonight, 3-9 pm. So I'm afraid we need to cancel rehearsal again this week. Remember, our rehearsal sequence is almost a month longer in the spring than in the fall (Scott Miller pointed this out to me yesterday).
