The monthly Song Circle provides a daytime opportunity to enjoy delightful songs, old or new, humorous or serious, timeless or topical. Free!
Everyone is welcome, regardless of experience. Come for informal group singing or just to listen, in person or via Zoom.
Election Day was November 5, Veterans Day will be November 11, and Thanksgiving Day will be November 28. Bring or request songs related to any of those days, or any other songs! We'll go around the room as many times as we can, giving everyone a chance to lead or request a song (or just pass) during each round.
If you wish to request particular songs, it helps to keep the singing going if you let us know in advance using the registration form linked below.
Susan McNelis will lead songs with guitar accompaniment, and any participant may lead any song, a cappella or self-accompanied.
The Song Circle will be held in person at the Margaret Schweinhaut Senior Center, 1000 Forest Glen Road, Silver Spring, MD 20901. Plenty of free parking!
In-person attendees should read and follow FSGW's Respiratory Virus Guidelines.
If you can't come in person, you can join us on Zoom with any Internet-connected device--computer, tablet, or smartphone--or you can join by dialing a phone number.
The Zoom link and phone number will be sent Friday morning to those who have attended the Song Circle using Zoom and to others who register at https://forms.gle/jr4sR9tmu6VRMBdN8 by
Thursday, November 7.
If this will be your first use of Zoom, go to https://zoom.us, click on " Sign Up Free " and follow the prompts. Do this ahead of time so that you'll be all set to "join the meeting" when it's time to do so. Information about getting started with Zoom is at https://support.zoom.us/hc/en-us/categories/200101697.
Before you join a Zoom session, if you installed the Zoom Workplace app on your computer before October 22, go to zoom.us/download to download and install the current version (6.2.5, or for Windows, macOS and Linux, version 6.26, released October 28). For a smartphone or tablet, update the Zoom app from your App Store or equivalent source.
Join us on November 8 in person or via Zoom. Especially if you're just getting started with Zoom, please try to join the Zoom session 5 or 10 minutes before 1:30 p.m. so that we can help with any technical issues before the singing begins.
