Fall Retreat

To kick off our 19th season, we are delighted to announce the third annual GNOYO 2011 Fall Retreat! The retreat will include an introduction to the fall repertoire, ice-breakers, outdoor and indoor activities, and sectionals featuring prominent musician educators from the region. It will be a time for musicians to get to know and interact with their peers and respective conductors. Students will be chaperoned by GNOYO staff counselors and the music director. The retreat is a mandatory element in the program that will enrich and nurture our GNOYO community.
