› Virtual Street Band Parade (Grantville Online)

About the Workshop: 

Take a look at the Youtube video of this workshop here.

Here’s a new experience! Come and join street-banders Lyndal and Strat in a fun VIRTUAL PARADE. Absolutely everyone is welcome!

Dress up (hats are especially good in the screen view), the more colorful and flamboyant the better, decorate your room with whatever you’ve got to hand, grab an instrument or just join in any way you can with singing, dancing and/or playing.

Join in with reckless abandon!

If you’ve had a chance to look at the charts and listen to the song (below) beforehand, you’ll probably deepen your participation – but it’s not essential – just give it a go!
