New Year - New Opportunities!
|
 The new year brings many new opportunities to engage with Revels.
We welcome you to attend one of our year-round performances, become a volunteer, sing in one of our choruses, sign up for a workshop, march in a parade. There's something for everyone who likes to sing, dance, craft, or simply be an appreciative audience. Invite others to join this community by encouraging them to get involved. Share the enjoyment that participatory celebrations bring and help us champion this unique community. |

Join Us for a Pub Sing in Silver Spring
January 30, 6:00-9:00pm

Join us to raise glass and song at McGinty's Public House in Silver Spring, MD. We will have the entire 2nd floor bar area -- and it is wheelchair accessible! Our Pub Sings often sell-out in advance -- so don't miss your chance...
Songbooks will be provided; if you are interested in leading a song, please send an email to pubsing@revelsdc.org.
We will once again have a mini-"Burns Supper," honoring the birthday of Scottish poet Robert Burns -- a shortened, 20-minute version of the traditional celebration, including a few songs, the entrance of (and "Address" to) the haggis, and bagpiper, ending with a rousing 'Auld Lang Syne' as written by Burns himself!
