- Music Jamboree
- Host: Top Note Music School
- Description: Thanks to the folks at Top Note Music School, the Mountain View Arts Society has a great line-up of fabulous talent all afternoon at the Didsbury Elks Hall. Our Sunday afternoon Music Jamboree is modeled a little bit after the old-fashioned house parties when people got together after a long day of work for an evening of music, story-telling and fun. And if we catch you dancing while waiting in line or shopping in a store, humming a tune while walking downtown Didsbury, or "playing drums" on the table in a coffee shop, we know we've done our job! Times: 11 - 11:45 am: Top Noters 12 pm: MiJo Gard Trio 1:30 - 2:30 pm: Fiddler's Jamboree 2:30 pm: Foothills Fiddlers 3:30 - 4 pm: Robertson Highland Dancers 4:15 - 5 pm: Top Note Talents
