Reminders

Tomorrow is the deadline to sign up for the Festivus. This is open to all Lower School and Upper School Latin Club members. More information is posted here.

Also, a reminder about the play on Halloween night (open to Upper Schoolers only). Those who have prepaid for tickets should meet me in the lobby no later than 7:45 PM. The running time is two and a half hours, so please have rides ready at 10:30 PM. More information is posted here.

Latin Fall Festivus

Latin Fall Festivus will take place at White Station High School on Saturday, November 21 from 8:00 AM until 11:45 AM.

The information booklet is posted here.

This event is open to all MUS Upper School and Lower School Latin Club members. Anyone who wishes to go needs to sign up with his Latin teacher by Friday, October 30. Since Festivus admission is included in club dues, there's no need to turn in any money (unless you want to pre-order a Festivus T-shirt).

Halloween Event

Halloween night is "Latin Night" at Theatreworks in Midtown for a performance of Titus Andronicus, Shakespeare's play based on the "Procne and Philomela" story in Ovid's Metamorphoses. This play is, as the description indicates, "overflowing with bloodshed and unthinkable brutality," so it's perfect for Halloween.

This event is open to all MUS Upper School Latin students. (Sorry - no Lower Schoolers.) Anyone wishing to go needs to pay $15 to their Latin teacher by Friday, October 23. Checks should be made out to MUS. (Cash is OK, but it needs to be exact change.) 

More information is posted here.
