Fiddle Orchestra ‘Jamathon’

May 15, 2024

Once a year the Blue Skies Community Fiddle Orchestra invites musicians of the area to come to an all day ‘Jamathon’ fundraiser and play along with each of the three Fiddle orchestra groups and share their own tunes as well. Musicians are asked to gather pledges for their participation and all funds raised are used to support the orchestra to continue providing low cost music education, instrument rental and celebration of community and music. All ages and levels of ability are welcome and the emphasis is on having fun but many orchestra alumni have gone on to musical careers and other music projects. This yearly event brings some of them back for a jam and welcomes new friends as well.

Long Sault Trio always bring a crop of new tunes they’ve written, and Trxters lays down some smooth swing and there is a rumour of some Classical music as well.

There will be lots of snacks available to keep everyone happily jamming all day and a pile of percussion instruments so everyone can join in the fun. No entry fee, no charge for the food, just a free will offering to support the orchestra.

You might want to bring some cash for the eagerly anticipated Pie Auction though. Our fabulous auctioneer has made this a highlight of the event for many people. Real old time goodness.

There will also be a silent auction featuring donated items and bedding plants for our spring gardens. All this fun and frolic is set for Saturday June 8, noon till 5 at the Maberly Hall.
