March Jam Session

March Jam Session

We just completed our March jam session and it was amazing. Students of all ages and levels were there in four separate bands. It was fun to kick things off with a quick solo from Pink Floyd’s Sorrow before everyone got up to play.

It is always a little scary to play in a band for the first time. But by the end, everyone was excited to sign up for the next session.

Jam Session Songs

For March’s jam session, we picked the same song for all four bands since most people really loved the tune. It was called Tennessee Whiskey by Chris Stapleton.

The great thing about this song is that it had parts for everyone. If the student was a beginner and never played in front of anyone, they could do the two chords. For the more advanced students, they could choose to hit the intro or take the solo in the center.

It was so incredible to see students as young as 8 years old playing in band. It will be a memory they will have for the rest of their life.

Multiple Bands

By having the four separate bands, students were able to play and then leave if they wanted to. The sessions ended up being the perfect length for the younger kids. In the beginning, each band played for full two hours. By then, most everyone was pretty exhausted.

Thank You to Jam Participants

I want to thank everyone for making this session such a success. A shout out to James, Ralph, and Rob for playing in multiple groups since we needed a bassist and vocals across the other bands. They were so much fun to work with and really made the session flow. It looks like our April session will add two more bands to the line up!
