Do you play a musical instrument? Anyone from 8th grade thru adults interested in playing in a Reformation Sunday      Ensemble should let Wayne Hagemoser know soon.

All instruments, including strings, woodwinds, etc. are welcome. I can be reached at 232-2807 or wayneh@iastate.edu after October 4th if questions arise.
