Midi files now available

I am happy to announce that we have midi files of the entire show to help us all prepare our individual parts for rehearsals. Visit the tabs to the right of this page under Practice Resources. You might also be able to copy the links and put them on a CD. Use this resource, it will be most helpful in your preparation for rehearsal, memorizing, or just singing Karaoke!!!!
