Play-a-thon 2012

MYO's annual Play-a-thon will be held once again at the McDonald's in Broad Ripple (our many thanks to the staff for hosting us!). 

Who: All members of the MYO are expected to perform
When: October 20, 9:00 am - 5:00 pm
Where: McDonald's at 1020 Broad Ripple Avenue, Indpls
Why: This event is a fundraiser for MYO and we like to show our community how much fun music can be, no matter where we are!

The financial goal for this year's play-a-thon is $30 per family for a total of $4350. 

If you have not yet signed up for a time to perform at this year's Play-a-thon, please do so by Friday, October 19 and be sure to collect those pledges!

Bring to the event:

• Instrument
• Rosin
• Rockstop for cello, bass
• Music (orchestra and lesson music)
• Camera for those great photo ops!
• Pledges

This is a casual event, so no need to dress up, but remember that you will be performing in public so keep that in mind as you choose your attire for the day!
