Band-A-Rama is coming

Friday, March 21st, 2008

Have you ever played a band instrument? - Then you are invited to play in our annual Band-A-Rama. Whether you played just in Junior high or all the way through college, come over on Tuesday May 27th to St. Charles North High School. Kids of all ages (10 years old-80) come together and play some easy level music and enjoy playing in a large mass band. We start the rehearsal at 4:30, have pizza at 6:00 and then do a performance at 7 pm. Need an instrument? We can get you one. Want the music ahead of time? Contact us and we will be getting the music out in mid May. The only cost is the price of the pizza. We average about 250-300 performers each year. Come on out!!!!
