Gunn Choir’s Fall Retreat is November 15/16. If you are new to the program, let me briefly describe the event. The Choir spends a weekend every fall at YMCA Camp Jones Gulch to rehearse extensively for our next concert, and to get to know each other better. It is extremely important that we have full participation. If your student has to miss any part of it, please call me or e-mail me right away. If finances are a problem, we can offer financial assistance to any family who cannot afford the full cost. Please contact me if you need help with that part of it. With so many students, we of course need lots of chaperones. It is a very relaxing time for the chaperones since we rehearse almost continuously. You have lots of time to enjoy the surroundings and read, hike, etc. Please contact me right away if you can help us. There is also a form where you can leave me your info (Chaperone Sign Up List). Chaperones don’t have to pay, so you can think of it as a free mini-vacation! Until lights out of course, when you will put in the real work getting these kids to bed!! Important forms or links I am posting at this site. The ones in bold need to be returned to me. 1) Gunn Parent-Student agreement/behavior contract.
