Trophy Pick-Up Day, Apr 14, 2024
The first Madison Area Music Association event for 2024 is scheduled for Sunday, April 14th at Cargo Coffee (750 E. Washington Ave). This is a trophy pick-up event for the 2023 winners but everyone is welcome to come by, have a coffee (they also have beer and wine), and enjoy the day with us!
Pick up your trophies between 1 and 7 p.m. Blue Umbrella Arts will be taking professional photos and capturing video remarks. No pressure – all fun.
But that’s not all:
We’ll have a few silent auction items including a 5-piece Simmons electronic drum set still in the box, some brand new condenser mics, a cool limited edition Washburn “Def Leppard” electric guitar – also still in the box (includes Def Leppard strap and picks plus a certificate of authenticity), and more.At 4 p.m. Dan Kennedy’s Soul Sessions will kick in. Come jam with us! Bring your acoustic instruments or small electronics to take part.
This event is FREE but since we’re a nonprofit funding youth music education with cold cash and hot instruments, we will accept any donations – including instruments in working order.
Free covered parking in the attached ramp, plus Cargo offers great coffeehouse food. See you there!
