Street Festival '19 / Fun Band

The town of Orange has a Street Festival the first Saturday every September and this year the Music Room had a number of associated activities. Some were under a tent outside in front of the building and others were inside. 

The first event was the Fun Band, which is a group we've had meeting for number of years. We're all retired, play various instruments in various other groups, and use books I've put together of mostly traditional, pop, and hymn tunes. Our most frequent performance venue is the local nursing home.

Here is the whole group

This family sat on the steps of the Music Room listening to our entire set, helped pass out songbooks, and insisted on making a donation to thank us for the music
