We will gather outdoors in Sarah’s yard and share tunes and jam with family members and friends. Picnics and snacks will be encouraged. Enjoy the park across the street for Frisbee, Tennis, or the playground!
This is a copy of my email with details:
Hi all,
Saturday, as you know, is the last scheduled event for the school year. I will be hosting a very informal jam session and musicale on my yard between 11 - 1 pm. At the moment, Saturday weather looks okay. Rain date will be Sunday, May 22 from 12 - 2 pm. Here is what you need to know.
1. Please RSVP so that I know you plan to come. If I don't get enough 'yes' confirmations, I'll need to cancel or modify so I do need to know if you intend to come for some or all of it.
2. You may arrive any time during the event but I will plan sort of a rough outline of a schedule:
11:00 Sharing of tunes either individually or as a group (whoever can play the tunes). All ages and adult students welcomed. Bring a picnic if you like!
12:15 Providing I get my May Pole in functional order this week (should be doable) we'll set that up and practice making it work for the fun of it! We'll need a band once we get it going! We'll see who wants to volunteer for that and come up with a common tune on the spot.
1:00 The creemee stand will open at the pool around the corner. This may be a great thing to do afterwards! You can keep your car parked on North Street if you wish, or drive over to the park parking lot. Their creemees and floats are an amazing treat!
If we have to do this on Sunday instead, just move everything up an hour starting at noon....
3. Here is the list of things you'd need to know or bring:
your instrumentsa
music stand and book for group tunes
a picnic if you would like, or snacks and beveragesa
blanket to sit on or lawn chairs
sun protection for your skin and eyesshoes required for your safety
masks in the event you need to go inside for the bathroom, but masks are not required outdoors
anything else you think you need!
The park across the street has porta potty, too. and a playground if you need to take restless children over there.
Please stay only on the back yard at my house and do not explore in the woods or other side of the house as there could be things unsafe for children like broken glass in the woods, or gas tanks and fishhooks by the boat for example.
There is likely to be soccer across the street which will take up parking places in front of our house. You may need to park a distance. If anyone will be with someone that needs to park close let me know so that I can make room in my driveway for them.
If I think of anything else I'll let you know!
I look forward to seeing you for your lessons this week and on Saturday if you can come. Please let me know as soon as you know one way or the other! I have included a couple of my summer students on this elist in case you also come.
Let me know if you have any questions. I am sure I have forgotten some important piece of information! —Sarah
