Hot Times at Old Town

Appearing below are selections from the hard copy Hot Times. The objective is to highlight activities at the School and in the larger community, especially those featuring or of special interest to teachers and staff. Your suggestions are welcome.

Add jug band to your resume!

Or if not to your resume, at least to your life. Registration is open for the next term of school’s jug band! It’s both a band AND a class, with the next class starting in late October. So when someone asks you what you’ve been doing — here’s what you can say.

“You didn’t know? I’m now a member of the Hump Night Thumpers Jug Band. That’s the band that won the 25th Annual Battle of the Jug Bands in 2007.”

And that’s the truth: everyone in the jug band class is a member of the famous Hump Night Thumpers — the band that has one CD on the market, and that appears on the 2008 Jugs Across America CD. You can join the class with OR without a traditional instrument — and in the class can pick up skills playing the jug, washboard, washtub bass, spoons, kazoo, kitchenware, etc. etc.

Jug band meets at 8 pm on Wednesday nights, with occasional performances at local venues — and, at the option of band members — maybe a return to the Battle of the Jug Bands in 2010!

But you need to sign up, and early is best — the next class starts October 26th, 2009.
