Do you have talent (or pseudo talent) to share?
Alrighty then, come prepared to let 'er rip in our annual talent show. We need acts!!!!

Speaking of talent, bring your guitar or other musical instrument and join the band (additions always welcome). Can you sing? Well then, step right up to the mic and join the band. Want to add some beat to the mix? We'll have an assortment of rhythm instruments available (djembe drums, bongos, guiros, maracas, tambourines, etc.) for you to join in with the band. Do you catch what we're saying here? All of us are the band! So let's "make a joyful noise to the Lord." See the list of songs in our "repertoire" (with links to hear them). Suggest new songs and sets.

Saturday evening, after the talent show, there will be a variety of options:
- a DJ dance in the dining hall
 (p.s. no inappropriate dances/songs, please!)
- table games
- a movie
 - a campfire
There will be snacks in all locations.
