BYSO follows the Bellevue School District schedule with regard to bad weather – if BSD is closed, so is BYSO.
However, your personal safety is of paramount importance. If you cannot safely travel to a BYSO rehearsal, retreat, or concert, please stay home.
An announcement regarding the Cadet and Debut retreats will be posted on Friday morning.
There will be NO rehearsal for all ensembles today, February 4. All Bellevue School District facilities are closed.
Stay safe and warm!
