Hey all, thanks so much for a great showing Thursday at Lakeshore. What a great audience! And congrats to our “newbies” for experiencing their first outing with us!
This next Thursday (July 31) is our last time together until September, unless you are going to participate in the Ukulele classes in August, either as a newb or as a helper. If you’re a newbie and haven’t let me know you’re going to attend, please email or text me to confirm your spot. Also, let me know if you have your own ukulele or need to borrow one. If you’re a “vet” and want to help out, please let me know. We’re supposed to have 13 or more participants, so I can certainly use the help! We could also use some extra ukuleles to loan out.
If you’re a vet and don’t want to help, you have an opportunity to keep strumming together…..at a different location. Cyndy has offered to open the gallery at Mountain Valley Arts Council on Thursdays, at our regular time (1 pm), for anyone who wants to get together. The plan right now is to work on problem areas in songs, strumming patterns from the recent workshop, open mics, and sing-alongs.
The next performance scheduled is at the Albertville Farmers Market on Saturday, September 13, 9am-11am. There will be three rehearsals, July 31, September 4, and September 11, to prepare for this event. I encourage all to participate and also to consider doing an “open mic” during the event. The only other performance in September will be at Terrace Lake Senior Living Community. Date TBD
