NOTES FOR PROGRAM:

You may have noticed that the total weeks to complete this program will take longer than a term- this will mean that the MAJOR TASK will run over into the second term.  

Suggestions: 

First option is to continue with the program as stated and hold the concert in the middle of the term, when the time frame is completed.

Second option is to use the conclusion activities to continue the program through the second term and hold the concert as a finale of two terms hard work.

Obviously, your decision...
