A People’s Choir DC (SING-ALONG)

A People's Choir DC returns to DC9 for a free, themed sing-along that invites everyone—regardless of singing ability—to join in a relaxed, communal evening of music. For this session, the theme is "BED REST," featuring songs that reference sleeping or dreaming; pajamas are optional. The event is not a performance but a group effort: the actual songs (not backing tracks) are played while lyrics are displayed on a video screen, and participants can stand, sit, dance, or simply listen. Anyone unfamiliar with a song can make up a tune or sit out. The only requirement is enthusiasm.
