Whānau and visitors to WMC only need to bring themselves and their voices!
Water bottles are a good idea.
Venue and Parking
St Patrick's Hall is on the main road in Kilbirnie. There is no parking at the venue, but plenty of on-street parking in surrounding roads. There are also some spaces at the Kilbirnie Recreation Centre.
What will the workshops involve?
The WMC Workshop involves all of the WMC students making music together! Over the weeks leading up to the workshop, students will learn one of the two chosen songs, and on the day we put it all together! Caregivers and whānau are warmly invited to join the music with their voices.
Bring-a-plate
WMC will be providing some free food, tea and coffee for everyone, including vegetarian, vegan and gluten free options. If you'd like to support the event by bringing some food to share, we'd love that! Sweet or savoury foods are both welcome, just remember to:
label your container so it doesn't go missing
note down or let us know what ingredients are in your food (especially nuts, eggs, milk, gluten, meat, etc)
drop your food at the kitchen when you arrive
pick up your container when you leave!
Bringing food is not required. Bake/cook up a storm if you like, but your presence is the only thing that really matters to us! There will be plenty to share. We will also be making sure everyone adheres to food safety procedures, including washing/sanitising hands.
Are there regular lessons on the day?
No, the workshops will replace the regular lessons on 28th June.
When will food be served?
Tea, coffee and biscuits will be available before and after the workshop.
Free kai will be available at 12:00pm after the workshop.
Can I come if I don't have any kids/relatives in the WMC programme?
Yep! If you love music, care about the community, and would like to see what local kids are doing at WMC, you're invited. Bring the kids and make some friends!
Can I still join in if I don't play an instrument?
Absolutely! We'll be teaching the words and melodies for everyone to sing along in the workshops.
