Kids & Families Street Band

[shaunalynn duffy]

Hello Bandmates!

Just wanted to send you all a reminder that we'll be meeting again this Sunday (with some new grooves!) and to ask--if you feel so inclined--that you share the below email (or one of your own) with anyone you think might be interested, as we are trying to grow the group a bit.

Also, people have asked about having recordings of some of the tunes we play to listen to at home.  There are recordings of us as well as other bands playing the tunes we've been playing here:

see you Sunday!

For the past month, a group of kids, parents, and other musicians have been meeting on Sunday afternoons to make music at Parts & Crafts just outside Teele Square in Somerville--and we'd like to invite you to join us!

This group is about making joyful noise with other people.  We're sticking with simple, danceable tunes; we're learning by ear; and we're learning together.  We welcome children, families, and anyone else that wants to be a part of a good groove.  We welcome experienced musicians as well as people who are new to their horn.  

Take a listen to hear what we're about: http://kids-street-band.tumblr.com/

DETAILS: 

Where: The Clarendon Hill Church at 155 Powderhouse Blvd.  (map: http://g.co/maps/qejrb)

When: Sundays from 3-5PM  

Who: You, and anyone you know!

Mailing List: http://groups.google.com/group/parts_and_crafts_band

RSVPs aren't required, but we'd love to know if you plan come (either by email or phone: 617.575.9219)!

To answer some other questions...

+ If you already have your own instrument, great!  Bring it with you!  If not, feel free to show up anyway to sing, stomp, crash a cymbal, or try some other instruments on for size.  If you're looking for a particular instrument, let us know!

+ All instruments are welcome, as long as they can move!  As we are a parading group at heart, we want instruments that can march, parade, and move around outside--especially as the weather gets warmer!

+ The band is facilitated by members of the Second Line Social Aid and Pleasure Society Brass Band <http://slsaps.org> along with some of the folks at Parts & Crafts <http://partsandcrafts.org>

Let me know if you have any questions, and feel free to share this far and wide!
