Fall Fling Tickets on Sale Soon
The Philadelphia Folksong Society Proudly Presents... Fall Fling September 24-26, 2010 at Camp Saginaw in Oxford, PA What is Fall Fling? Imagine a crisp fall day in a sylvan setting where the most difficult questions you have to face are, "Do I go to a workshop featuring classic folk songs of the 60's, pull out a T-shirt and create a tie-dye worthy of the memory of Jerry Garcia, wander over to a cabin for some informal jamming, get out a racket and smack the tennis ball around, or simply collapse in a lounge chair and let the sounds of hundreds of people having fun wash over me?" These arejust a few of the activities that can occur at the Fall Fling! Fall Fling is a very social weekend retreat at a summer camp/resort in a country setting for musicians, singers, dancers, actors, appreciators, families and friends of all ages. The event includes: Meals all weekend - From dinner on Friday night to Sunday evening dinner, prepared by the Camp's Chef and staff. (The traditional Friday pot-luck is going away this year - walk-up, buffet dinner will now be served from 7:30-9:30pm - please plan to arrive accordingly) Workshops - A full schedule of participant-lead workshops on Saturday & Sunday. You volunteer to lead the workshop of your liking and we put it on the schedule! Workshops can include vocal and instrumental themes and styles, songwriting, performance techniques, dance, tie-dye, massage, crafts, kid's activities, sports, etc. Sign up to lead a workshop when you register! Kid's Open Stage - If music is in your family's blood, this is the opportunity to acquaint kids of all ages to the thrill of performing in front of an audience! Adult's Open Stage - This is your opportunity to showcase your talents in front of an audience with professional audio engineer(s) that work hard to make you sound even better! 15 - 18 performers are randomly pulled from the ballot box at dinner on Saturday to create the evening's line-up, so be sure to add your name to the box early (but not often)! Campfire Sings & Informal jamming - There are designated campfire areas where formal campfire sings can be arranged. Informal jamming spontaneously pops up in cabins, dining hall, gazebo(s) and even lakeside under the moon (moon willing)! Don't be shy! Feel free to politely join in if you hear something you like! Accommodations - Bunking is in communal adult-sized cabins with toilets and showers. There are designated cabins for "Late Jammers," "Early Risers," and "Families." Want to bunk with friends? Each cabin holds about 10 to 20 people, so please take these limits into consideration. We do our best to align cabin requests, but we may not be able to accommodate all requests.
