This is our latest draft of the retreat schedule. I've had questions, so I just wanted to get it out to you, even if it's not completely finalized. It will likely change very little. I've also attached a PDF for easy printing.
Thanks,
Julie
Retreat 2017
This will be our eighth annual retreat. Not only do we have fun, we get to know each other better, experience a top quality musical experience, and rehearse three times for our upcoming concert. If you cannot stay the night, please be sure to attend as much of the retreat as possible on Friday evening, Saturday morning and/or afternoon. We can let you know what the cost is for the meals you eat if you are unable to stay overnight. We are assuming you are going unless you tell us otherwise.
