Last Rehearsal Before CCU

May 4th, members of the Carroll Creek Unplugged Live Team met The Milk Mountain Band at Urbana Fire and Rescue (thank you Urbana F&R!) to get one last rehearsal in before our May 25th community performance event. Lucy, our Live Audio Engineer, had a chance to dial in the settings in an outside environment and has the band sounding most excellent. We are less than three weeks from the main event and everything is coming together nicely. There is plenty of time left to register – and – grab some tickets for a chance to win a lovely Jasmine S35 acoustic guitar!

We hope to see out at The Creek!

Looking For a Few Good Volunteers

Where does the time go?? We are three weeks away from hosting our incredible community-building, music performance event, Carroll Creek Unplugged! A project such as this takes a lot of human resources, and as such, we are looking for a few good volunteers. Roles we are looking to fill include Volunteer Coordinator; Program Manager Assistant; General Setup Crew; Greeting Tent Crew; Stage Crew; Boundary Crew; Photo/Video Team.

We need your help! If you would like to assist Global Z in delivering this unique event to our community, please sign up for a role today and tell your friends 🙂
By the way, while you are there, feel free to join in the fun and sing along with the rest of us – see you out at the Creek!

The Abbey Road Institute Features The Global Z Recording Project

The Abbey Road Institute featured a post celebrating the successful hybrid collaboration between ARI and The Global Z Recording Project – “The Frederick Circle of Musical Unity.” ARI student producers and audio engineers in London, partnered with student musicians and audio engineers from Frederick, Maryland, to record a commercial-quality song written by two Frederick high school students using cutting edge Internet-based communication, collaboration, and recording technologies.
