• If PAB takes on hosting duties the group would like to sit down with Tim to define PAB’s roles & responsibilities
• other concerns regarding One Acts:
• Review practice times students can practice. Check with FHS handbook and check with the office to see if there are any restrictions that need to be upheld.  It has been noted that practices run too long both in hours and days of the week htat impact the students school work
