July 28th, 2011 The MSD Ukulele Band performed their first gig EVER for the department's semi-annual ice cream social! The Ice Cream Social is a time for everyone in the department to let their hair down and mingle with one another as friends. For one hour, we all forget about our projects and just celebrate unity. Chanté asked us to be "the entertainment" over a month ago, so we all decided to buy ukuleles and learn a few songs to perform. After only three one-hour lunch practice sessions, we decided to play Hound Dog by Elvis, Hey Jude by The Beatles, and Stand By Me by Ben E. King. During our final practice, I thought we had all decided to come dressed in Hawaiian garb--but I must have been mistaken. Here's a video of Hey Jude captured on my phone.
