We loved welcoming a wonderful group of homeschool families into the Joshua Glynn Music and Arts Center last week. Parents and kids got the full tour playing every instrument, exploring the studio, and then treating us to an impromptu performance right here at the Plymouth Boys & Girls Club. The energy, the laughter, and the pure joy of making music together was exactly why we built this space. Huge thank you to everyone who came out. We can’t wait to host you again soon.
