2020 4th of July Camp Online!

2020 4th of July Camp Online!

From SFFMC Vice President Hali Hammer:

Since we can’t get together in person, we’ll have a virtual get-together Friday night, plus four online workshops and an open mic each day on Saturday and Sunday (4th of July weekend).  Workshops will be one hour each.  Ed Hilton and I will host.  If you want to share a song, you can put your request for a turn that day in that workshop.

Everything will be done via Zoom. The Zoom URLs for the workshops and open mics will be posted on SFFMC’s Harmony email list.  If you’re not already on the Harmony list, you can subscribe at lists.sffmc.org/mailman/listinfo/harmony.  Or you can email me at halih@yahoo.com or Ed at ed_hilton@yahoo.com and we will email the URLs to you.

Please only sign up for one slot for the open mic. Each slot for the open mic will be two songs or ten minutes, whichever is shorter.  We’ll accept up to 12 open mic sign-ups each day.  Choose a day. If there are slots open by the time we’re getting ready to start, you could possibly have a turn both days, but only if everyone who wants to play gets one turn.

Hope you can join us on Zoom this weekend. Better virtual than never!!!
