‘Carry On’ Stake Music Festival

This image has an empty alt attribute; its file name is image-1.png

As some of you may be aware, on Saturday September 17, 2022, the Coal Mountain Stake will be hosting a Music Festival. (This is similar to the event that was scheduled last fall, but cancelled due to an uptick in Covid cases).

Time to dust off those drums, tune the trumpets, tinkle the ivories, warm up your voices, etc.

The stake would like to see every unit represented at this festival. Music does not need to be of a sacred nature–just uplifting, so this is a good chance to use a variety of instruments and music.

We also encourage youth to be involved as well as you might consider performing in ensembles (families?) to allow many people to participate.

Please consider what you have to share and/or invite others to join you. Contact coalstakemusic@gmail.com for questions or suggestions or to participate.
