Rehearsal at RIS (Posted 9/16/08)

The season is off to a great start! (Posted 9/15/08)
The weather smiled on us and we had a great retreat at Kinhaven. Our ensembles staged informal concerts of their works-in-progress after the first two days of rehearsals. LRYO provided dinner for students and families. Although many of the students who planned to spend the night changed their minds, the eight remaining had a fun evening of capture-the-flag, board games, mafia, killer and more! Although we awoke to rain Sunday morning, home-made coffee cake, bagels, hot chocolate, ping-pong and even musical chairs started off everyone's day. Let's do it again next year!
Thanks to all who pitched in and helped with set-up, meal prep, running the dish machine, etc.!
