We know that there are a lot of Dolly fans here,
and with her recent passing, we knew
it was important to pay tribute to her.
I love the industry, that is what we are.
We're having, I believe, our 12th one-day choir.
We're singing Islands in the Stream by Dolly Parton.
We try to meet every couple of months,
and it is completely free.
You don't have to have any experience.
You can just show up with a desire to sing.
We say just like show up,
just show up with enthusiasm and a desire to meet new people
and we'll do the rest.
It's really inspired by a bunch
of one day choirs around the world, specifically the
one in New York City.
But the general idea is that you show up just for this day
and this one song, you put everything
you have into that song.
And you have three or four hours to learn it.
And then at the end, you record as a group.
And then...
That's it. Probably one of the coolest pieces of doing
the One Day Choir is how many different people we pull.
Obviously we're always trying to expand our connections
and bringing more people from the community,
but having a space where parents can come
and be a part of the group and they know that their kids can come
and just sing with us and be goofy
and we're not going to be angry if you don't know that much about music
or if your kids are having fun and being goofy.
It's very much an open space where we're hoping that anybody
and everybody can come
And just have a little bit of fun singing.
