Ok, I'm ready to finally get this thing rolling here.
I am seeking Minnesota ukulele players of all ages and skill levels to form a Twin Cities Ukulele Orchestra as fashioned after such better known organizations as the Ukulele Orchestra of Great Britain and the Wellington Ukulele Orchestra. My hope is to organize a group with an eye towards performing and a with a healthy sense of the ridiculous. Meeting on a weekly or bi-weekly basis to work on repertoire, learn new things, show off a bit what you’ve been working on at home and just have some fun.
I’m much less concerned about skill level (that’ll improve with practice) than I am at least a certain level of commitment to the cause. The Orchestra should be serious about playing well while otherwise not being particularly serious at all. If that makes sense.
My current hope is to gauge the level of interest with this ad, hash out a few songs to start with and then have our initial meeting towards the end of this month or the beginning of March at an as yet undecided location in the Minneapolis area (depending on the who and how many of participants.)
I’ll also see about getting up a blog or Facebook group or something for the Orchestra as a central location to disseminate info on what’s going on once things start rolling a bit and there are a few folks have thrown their ukes into the ring.
Don’t be shy. This could be a lot of fun.
