WHAT? - GIGS = Casual Performances - Our audiences appreciate our presence and enthusiasm. They don’t expect professional performers. We focus on fun entertainment with Twin Cities Ukulele Club members playing and singing basic familiar songs while sitting and using music stands is just fine. We keep the songs familiar, simple and fun for our giggers and audiences!
WHO? - Gig participation is voluntary and the gigs are perfect for ALL skill levels.
TRYOUTS? - NO
PRACTICE SESSIONS? - NO - Since we use songs that we routinely play at our jams, formal and separate practice sessions are not necessary. Also, getting giggers together to practice is not just difficult, it is impossible. We know because we have tried. Life gets in the way.
SONGS USED? - We use songs we routinely sing at jams. NO special arrangements. Gig songs will only be from the Yellow and Blue books (or the baritone versions), and the Dropbox 1A ALL SONGS folder that is available to all Twin Cities Ukulele Club members. We will also play and sing a limited number of songs requested by the gig location. We most often sit and use music and music stands at gigs. We are a group of enthusiastic ukulele players and singers sharing our joy of music, the fun of ukuleles and songs we sing all the time at our jams. Most important, our audiences love the casual and fun nature of our gigs.
WHO COORDINATES OUR GIGS? - Our Twin Cities Ukulele Club Coordinators, are in charge of where, when, what, and how many gigs we are going to do. If you know of a place that would like a Twin Cities Ukulele Club Gig, let one of our Gig Coordinators know. The Gig Coordinators are:
