Hey, party people. Our beloved Band in a Hat is fast approaching, and I wanted to share upcoming dates with you all.
Everyone of ALL ages, styles, levels, and locations is welcome.
Sign up for ONE of the following INSTRUMENT CATEGORIES:
band has 6 weeks to create a 30-minute set of original or cover tunes, theater, comedy, or whatever
your band invents for the show on April 12th! This is just for fun and not for competition.
Print very clearly your name & contact info for ONE instrument category per person (although you
may play others and/or sing as determined by your band) and specify WHICH instrument you will play.
Also indicate if you can offer a practice space (The JAM Hut is available for practice space if needed).
Missing or illegible info may preclude you from the drawing. Please only sign for yourself.
Two people from the same household may sign up together in ONE instrument category of the
sign-up sheet (for scheduling and practice space convenience). Because this is a unique circumstance,
both household members must decide on one category to enter while the other becomes a bonus band member.
Each musician must be committed to having loads of fun, collaborating amicably with others,
and attending scheduled practices. Please do not drop out midway! In the event of drop-out, the
band may do what it takes to make a great set, such as continuing with the remaining members, calling in
a replacement, or implementing other ideas they may have.
All musicians MUST be signed up BY the drawing date (February 28th) to participate.
SOUND PEOPLE are also needed. Please get in touch with us if you can help with sound!
The ORDER OF THE BANDS at the show will be determined later, and all bands will be notified.
