The Red Cross Oregon Trail Chapter is looking for a MARIMBA BAND to play (for just over an hour) at our all-staff picnic at Blue Lake Park on August 2nd. We don't have much of a budget, but we can provide a great BBQ lunch and passes to the park for the day. It’s a great opportunity to play a short gig, get a free lunch and showcase your musical talent to an audience of over 100 appreciative, hard working volunteers and staff!

Quite a number of our volunteers have been deployed to help with the relief efforts from the Midwest floods, and we’re hoping to put on a fantastic picnic for them when they return to Portland!
