RYBC 2008-2009 Strategic Plan

The RYBC Board of Directors have been working on a proposal outlining a new direction for the Company which includes a performing season with a specific schedule of rehearsals and performances, company member guidelines, fundraising, a plan for a larger facility and the return of Mrs. Morscher as the Artistic Director. The RYBC Board appreciates the patience of all its Company members, parents and sponsors. It is the intent of the RYBC Board to share this proposal with all RYBC Company members in the near future. We understand that this year has been filled with uncertainty. We hope this proposal will answer your questions, ease your concerns and create new opportunities for you to help support RYBC.

RSB Parent Observation is scheduled for May19th - May 24th. 
Parents, family members and friends are invited to attend any of the RSB Lessons throughout the week.
Chairs and light refreshments will be provided, as well as select performances of the Junior & Senior Levels.

RSB Parking Lot
