Centennial Community Center Band Scramble
January 28, 2012
Performers sign in 11-12:00, Bands drawn 12:00 - practice 12:30-1:00
Performances Begin at 1:00
Admission $3 (performers free) Lunch sold 11:30-1:00 for $5 (hamburger or salmon burger, chips or veggies, beverage).
What Does a Scrambled Band Taste Like?
Follow this recipe for a delicious result: PLACE a cupful of names of amateur musicians and singers in a bowl (or hat), SCRAMBLE well, REMOVE and PLACE IN RANDOM BATCHES. This creates an unexpected mix of talent and energy, as most of these ingredients (performers) have never been together before. LET these BATCHES SET 30 minutes (they meet to decide the songs they will perform). See them RISE to the occasion as you watch & listen to them COOK on stage. The whole hall will be filled with the warmth and aromas created. Even if music is not part of your regular diet, YOU’LL EAT IT UP! Cash prizes go to those serving up the most delicious entrees.
