What is the Retreat?
Here is all the info you need to know for the pepband's fifth annual Pepband Retreat!
It will take place before Welcome Week, so we can be ready to go for all the events that take place that week. The retreat is also a chance for the pepband to bond, give incoming freshman a smooth transition into college & band life, and to just have some good old fashioned fun!
Please note the retreat is NOT mandatory, however we'd love to have as many people come as possible! The retreat is open to both returning pepbanders as well as (of course) incoming freshman.
Interested? Then go ahead and sign up today!
New to the band? Make sure to sign up for the e-mail lists so you can stay up to date on what's going on.
For those of you without a place to stay, we will be hosting you in various pepbanders' apts to make sure you have a place to sleep.

Questions? Concerns? Comments? Feel free to e-mail the officers to receive some enlightenment.
