To download stuff
Hello all,
We have attached a drop io link to the blog, please go there to download the 10 July schedule (version 1). It might be subject to change, so you might want to keep checking it for updates, if needed. It's best if you at least have a look so that you know what's going to happen then. We'll give you the password during Monday's rehearsal :) I think most of you would be able to guess it though...
Jiayou!
