Presenting: Rosewood @ Home!

Greetings in "interesting" times, Rosewood Musicians and Friends.

After much thought the planning team has decided that Rosewood Music Camp will go ahead this year, but in a very different format - introducing “ROSEWOOD AT HOME!”.

In these times it's clear that bringing lots of people together for extending periods of time is just not possible, so there will be no camp at Charnwood this year.

HOWEVER!

Since making music with family and friends is the essence of Rosewood, we invite you to set up your own mini-Rosewood and then share the love back to us.

THE CONCEPT:
In you own special space, gather safely with family and friends.

WHEN:
On or close to our normal weekend (25-28th September)

DESIGN AND EXECUTION:
You design your own “Rosewood-at-home” programme, and have a hell of a good time.
Record and upload your best samples by Sunday 4th October.

THE CULMINATION:
Come to the concert. All the video contributions will be kept as an archival memory of a very unusual year, and the “best of” will be shown as part of a live streamed “Rosewood at Home 2020” concert event a few weeks later.

HANDY HINTS FOR TECHNICAL SUPPORT:
If the spirit moves you, film and photograph some representative samples of your gathering, and send them in to us (along with photos). Our tech gurus will advise the best way to do this (more info later). Ideally the individual film clips should be no more than three minutes long.

The concert event will include live commentary from committee and MCs, and performances from some special guests. There will also be a limited number of live blackboard spots available.
 
SUGGESTIONS FOR YOUR ROSEWOOD AT HOME PROGRAMME:
  • acknowledge the traditional owners of the land on which you gather.
  • share a favourite song with the gathering. Maybe run it like a “song-swap” activity you may have seen at a music camp or singers’ gathering.
  • teach a tune to instrumental players (we may send out some ideas for suitable tune-fodder)
  • try a new instrument; ask someone at your gathering to show you!
  • have a “Covid-safe” dance. This should be limited to family (if contact involved) Invent some new non-contact dances…outside is best.
  • share stories or music camp memories around a campfire.
  • create an “instant band” to try some new combinations.
  • write a song about what’s going on in your life….Covid-related or not!
  • run an art/craft activity
  • go on a short wildflower (or gardenflower!) walk

GO FOR IT! (and email us from our website with your ideas or questions)

Let's keep the flame of Rosewood Alive and create a little magic to share with one another in October.   

With much love and gratitude from your Rosewood Planning Team - 
Andy, Dot, Christopher, Nicole, Jackie, Helena, Vera, Jill and Robyn
