Welcome to the Mighty Uke Day 8 Bus Flash Mob!

This is going to be a whole lot of fun, glad you’re aboard! We’ll be on the Route #1 Bus, leaving the at 7:00 pm on Thursday, May 3.

We need to make this run as smoothly as possible and not hinder the normal bus driver in any way to make this a good experience for everyone. Here are some of the (paraphrased) guidelines I received from CATA:

1) DO WHATEVER THE BUS DRIVER SAYS! 2) BUS OPERATORS MUST REMAIN ON TIME. They cannot wait for performers who are not prepared to board, so be ready when the bus arrives. YOU MUST HAVE EXACT CHANGE ($1.25) or a token, drivers cannot make change. 3) For the safety of all performers, we must ask that each QUICKLY FIND A SEAT upon boarding before playing their instrument. We will try to position ourselves near the rear of the bus. 4) Others on the bus may not be coerced into participating or accepting flyers. PLEASE RESPECT their choice to join in or not. 5) DO WHATEVER THE BUS DRIVER SAYS!

We have bus passes for everyone’s return trip. You can either ride the bus back to your boarding point afterwards or some people can leave cars in to drive back.

They will try to give us the actual bus number so you know for sure that it’s the right bus. If for some reason the bus is full, get on the next bus and meet us downtown.

Songs are available for download at: tinyurl.com/MUD8bussongs. When we finish, ​ ​ whoever wants to can hang out in watering hole downtown (maybe outside at Troppo) and play some tunes.

Email [email protected] with ​ ​ any questions. Thanks for being a part of this ukerific adventure!
