The Sandbridge Common Repertoire Project​

Each year at Sandbridge, we have so much fun jamming lots of popular tunes. Except that sometimes we notice around half of the attendees don't know the tune. EEK!
This creates a dilemma! We want everyone to know these tunes, but we can't teach them at Sandbridge because too many people do know them. What to do......what to do...?!?!?!?
We've come up with a plan! 
And it will help YOU get ready for Sandbridge!!
Before each Sandbridge, Mary Lynn will offer a 2 session class teaching a tune that we love to jam. And Ken will look into his archive of video lessons and choose one that we've noticed many people don't know. You get the opportunity to learn tunes that you've had to skip in previous year's jams, and we all get to have even more fun at Sandbridge!!
What does this mean? It means that this spring, we'll all have 2 tunes in common and we will jam them a lot!! Then we'll pick 2 more tunes before Fall Sandbridge, and we'll all have 4 tunes in common! Double the fun!! And then the NEXT spring, we'll do 2 more... you can do the math!! 

What if I'm not coming to Sandbridge this year?
We invite you to join in anyway! Let's build up a common repertoire so that when you come back to Sandbridge we can all play together!
Plus this is our 20th Anniversary Year! We will be broadcasting a 20th Anniversary Jam live from Sandbridge in the fall. Learn these tunes, and you can tune in to the jam and play along!!
