🎢 OddBall SoundJam
πŸ—“ Sunday, February 15
πŸ•š 11:00 AM – 1:00 PM
πŸ“ Diana Krall Plaza
β˜” Under the creepy sci-fi awnings if it’s raining
OddBall SoundJam is a playful, all-ages, all-abilities curated noise-jam for curious ears and creative bodies. No musical experience needed β€” just a willingness to listen, explore, and make sound together.
This is a family-friendly space where kids, adults, elders, and first-time sound-makers are all welcome. Come for five minutes or stay the whole time. Participate in whatever way feels right for you.
🎡 What to bring
Some percussion and noise-makers will be provided β€” or bring anything that:
πŸ”” clangs Β· clacks Β· warbles Β· squeaks Β· pops Β· rattles Β· crinkles Β· jingles Β· thumps
Think: metal bowls, keys on a ring, bubble wrap, chip bags, squeaky toys, wobbly card stock, or other found objects from around the house.
🌈 What to expect
β€’ A gentle, loosely guided sound environment
β€’ Collaborative, playful sound-making β€” not a performance
β€’ Space for listening as much as sounding
β€’ Come-and-go friendly
πŸ“œ Guidelines (to keep it fun for everyone)
πŸ”• Please keep the sound-making space word-free (save conversations for nearby)
πŸŽ›οΈ This isn’t about being the loudest (no chainsaw energy) β€” it’s about blending, responding, and shaping a shared, joyful chaos
πŸ‘‚ Care for your ears and each other β€” step back, rest, or observe anytime
✨ No right way to participate
You can play, listen, move, pause, repeat, or simply be present. Follow your curiosity.
Questions welcome. Weird objects encouraged.
