WASSUP2: Sing-along songs and flash mob songs

If you're planning to attend either the flash mob or the gospel sing-along on Saturday, here are the links to the lead sheets with the words and chords.  Please download them and bring them along.  A limited number of paper copies will be available for a cost at the festival, but there are no guarantees how long they will last.

FMSM Winter Concert and WASSUP2...

...are coming soon to a neighborhood near you!

Friday, March 11, and Saturday, March 12, you will have an opportunity to immerse yourself in music at the Midland Free Methodist Church, 5821 Eastman Ave. in Midland.

Friday evening at 7pm is the FMSM winter concert, which will NOT BE HELD AT THE DOW LIBRARY AUDITORIUM, as has been the case previously, but rather in the sanctuary at MFMC, which is about a mile or two north of the Dow Library on the same (west) side of Eastman Ave.  Jolly Hammers and Strings will open the concert, and the headliner is the multi-talented artist and entertainer, Mr. Todd Baio of Chandler, Arizona.  Admission is by your kind donation.  Plan to be there!

The second annual WASSUP! ukulele festival runs concurrently at MFMC from 1pm until 9pm on Friday, and from 9:30am to 9:30pm on Saturday.  Again, there are no tickets to buy or admission fees to pay, but it is your donations that help make this festival possible to have.

Whether you be a uke player, a singer, a curious person with nothing better to do, or an innocent bystander, you are invited to attend.  There will be a ukulele flash mob at the Midland Mall on Saturday at 11:30am, a gospel sing-along at 3pm on Saturday, a ukulele concert at 7pm on Saturday, as well as a silent auction, vendors, a used instrument table, and many other activities all weekend as outlined in the schedule below.  Round up some friends and come join the party! - JH
