# Event Details

- **Event Name**: Steel City Squares May Square Dance - Community Bands!
- **Event Start and End Date**: Sat, 23 May, 2026 at 07:00 pm – Sat, 23 May, 2026 at 11:00 pm (-04:00)
- **Event Description**: For our LAST regular monthly dance of the 2025-26 season, we are mixing it up and inviting YOU to play the tunes! Do you play old-time music? Does maybe playing a whole dance sound stressful but 2-3 tunes sound like fun? Have you always wondered what it'd be like to play for a dance? Well now's your chance!

You can form your own band or sign up individually and we will build bands from the folks available. Instruments welcome include fiddle, banjo, mandolin, guitar, and bass; please contact us with any questions.

Monetary compensation is not guaranteed due to the large number of participants possible; this is intended to be an opportunity to strengthen our community and provide a space for younger and/or newer musicians to gain experience in a dance band in a safe and welcoming environment.

Please let us know if you're interested via FB or IG message or email (squaredancepittsburgh@gmail.com) with your name, contact info, preferred instrument(s), level of experience with old-time, and names of anyone else you would like to play with (optional). 

*Musician interest deadline is APRIL 30th.*
