<div>The School of HONK turned 10 this year, and we celebrated in so many ways:
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Every Sunday, we welcomed newcomers and old-timers alike
</div>
<ul>
<li>to make fun, music &amp; magic together
</li>
<li>in a community that values play over perfection
</li>
<li>and brings inspiration to our friends and neighbors.
</li>
</ul>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>We played at our favorite festivals like Juneteenth, Wake Up the Earth, Cambridge &amp; Somerville Porchfests, Halloween parades, and of course, the 20th annual Honkfest.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Our year of celebration also included new experiments:
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>We hosted our first Community Gatherings
</div>
<ul>
<li>to talk about how we do what we do
</li>
<li>and to dream about what we’d like to do next;
</li>
<li>how we care for each other as a community,
</li>
<li>and even how to start a new band;
</li>
<li>we even held a “speed-friending” session – like speed dating but for friends!
</li>
</ul>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>We also
</div>
<ul>
<li>explored new destinations in Winchester and Allston,
</li>
<li>expanded our Summer HONK middle-school camp,
</li>
<li>and collaborated with Around Hear and the Mystic Learning Center for an afterschool program in East Somerville;
</li>
<li>we added new tunes to our repertoire, featuring struts, shouts, umbrella dancing, and… chickens? (yup, we added another song with animal sounds — that’s on brand);
</li>
<li>and we reveled at our 10th Birthday Gala, where band alumni joined current members to share food, music, memories, and dancing to the grooves of Undertow Brass Band.
</li>
</ul>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Happily, our second decade is off to a terrific start!
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>But we do need your help to keep our first-of-its-kind school and community strutting.
</div>
<div>The School of HONK is free for all to join, but it isn’t free to run. In addition to covering expenses -- like rent, insurance, van maintenance, and loaner instruments -- we’re building a nest egg to secure a more permanent home in the near future.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Your contributions keep the music, magic, fun, and friendship going all year long.
</div>
<div>We’re so grateful for your support, and we can’t wait to see what the next year brings.
</div>
