What a Blast!

We had an incredible time together! Many thanks to our sponsors, volunteers, performers, instructors, camp attendees & concert-goers! The festival was successful beyond our expectations:

  • Concerts were played in front of over 3000 people.
  • The workshops were sold out with 125 adult and 50 child attendees.
  • We raised enough money to buy 110 ukuleles and books.
  • We are able to provide full scholarships ($1000 each) to 4 teachers to attend the James Hill Teacher Certification Program.
  • And, we have spread the ukulele program to additional schools in Hood River, and to by the neighboring communities of The Dalles (OR), Welches (OR), and White Salmon (WA).
