Retreat Information

EYSO holds an annual Veterans Day retreat for ALL ORCHESTRAS. Our musicians come from all over the greater Snohomish county area and attend many schools. The retreat is both an important and fun time for us to get to know each other personally as well as musically as we prepare for our our upcoming concerts. Attendance is mandatory and all costs are included in the tuition you have already paid. 

Junior and Youth orchestras have an overnight retreat at Warm Beach Conference Center in Stanwood on Veterans Day weekend (November 10th & 11th, 2008). Musicians are transported to and from Warm Beach Conference Center by chartered bus. The bus picks kids up at Kamiak High School and at the Marysville Ash Avenue Park & Ride. Please meet the bus at the location most convenient for you. On Monday afternoon, the bus DEPARTS from Kamiak High School at 3:30, and DEPARTS from the Marysville Ash Avenue Park and Ride at 4:15. Please plan to arrive early!! On Monday, the bus drops kids off at the Marysville Park & Ride at 3:45 and at Kamiak High School at 4:30.

Prelude and Intermezzo Intermezzo Orchestra members have a mandatory rehearsal at Cascade View Presbyterian Church on Veterans Day, November 11th, 9:00 - 12:00. Immediately following the rehearsal Intermezzo and Prelude members are invited to a pizza lunch at Alfy's followed by a rollerskating party at the Everett Skate Deck.

Family members are welcome to come to the pizza lunch and skating party but they will need to pay their own way.
