Participation Options

On May 17 and 18, join friends, family, and neighbors from all over to create 30 hours of music. Have fun, sing & play, invite people to sponsor you, and play your part in this community-wide investment in music making.

Make a little music or a lot; in a group with an audience or by yourself in pajamas in the middle of the night; inside, outside, or over zoom—play it your way!

You might do a solo ‘Hike & Sing’ or join the ‘Big SING!’ to fill the park with people singing. You might sing or play in your year-end recital or as part of an ensemble like Children’s Chorus or Sinfonia.

If you like to make music – there’s a way to Sing & Play.

How do I Sing & Play?

Step 1
Pick a time slot (e.g. Saturday Sessions, Evening JAM, etc), and choose your events from the schedule.
There are no fees or fundraising minimums — and there are fun benefits just from signing up — so you can choose one event or as many as you like!

TIP: If you choose events in multiple time slots, e.g. Saturday Sessions & Evening JAM, you become a Sing & Play Superhero!

Step 2
