This is a hybrid event, in-person preferred. When you register, you'll be asked whether you're planning to participate in-person or online. We need to know so we can plan seats and snacks.
We use Big Blue Button for our online classroom. Meet us at bbb.sofree.us.
Doors open at 8:30.
Instructors will be in the room early to help students with requirements.
The rally track for this event is "Canon in D Remix" by Ronald Jenkees. It will play for a few minutes before class starts, and class will start when the rally track ends.
