AMTA‘s Adult Student Potluck combines a relaxed recital experience along with the lively atmosphere of potluck dining.

Our Potluck will be held on Sunday, May 25th, 2:00 PM. Location is Bethany Lutheran Church Fellowship Hall, 4500 E. Hampden Ave., Englewood, CO 80113.

Students are requested to bring the following potluck dish according to the first letter of their last name:

• A-H: Salad
• I-R: Main Dish
• S-Z Dessert

Twice a year, the adult students gather on a weekend afternoon where they may visit with other adult students, make new friends, and when they feel ready, may choose to perform.  Some less confident students may choose not to perform at all and that’s OK too.  Eventually, however, they may change their mind once others have taken to the spotlight, and find they enjoy performing. Whatever the outcome, this opportunity is for the adult student to enjoy performing among other adults, as children grades K-12 will not be in attendance.

ContactThayne Larsen, Chair,with number of students attending by Sunday, November 3rd. Please remind your adult students that it’s best for young children to stay at home.
