Interhouse Music
A few changes are in the air…
- The date has been changed to May 17th, which gives you more time to prepare.
- The song has been changed to Yellow, by Coldplay.
The sheet music / tutorials / videos are located at studentlargestorage / music / interhouse. If you want any orchestral changes, please let me (Miss Keus) know and I’ll change the Finale file for you.
