What a beautiful day for some #SchoolOfHonk 🎶! After ridiculously warm weather on Friday, we have rapidly entered “Natalie is reminded she has cold-induced bronchospasm” [cough] and “too cold to play clarinet, need glove-friendly instrument” season 😂🥶
Trying to decide if I am sufficiently polka-dotted 😂 #SchoolOfHonk kicks off our @honkfest with a 2pm set @ 7 Hills Park in Davis Square!
Ready for @honkfest! 🎉🎶🎺🎵 Come see my band #SchoolOfHonk and many other amazing street bands from across the country bring music, dancing, and joy to #DavisSquare on Saturday and #HarvardSquare on Sunday! Details at https://honkfest.org/2024-festival/
It rained and we still had fun 🙂 #SchoolofHonk at @honkfest 2023. Parade today! https://youtu.be/waQh9IJWZQQ?si=hcrDO88W3IWylRon
On Sunday we wear dots #SchoolOfHonk
Tomorrow is #PorchFest! Come see #SchoolOfHonk jam to “Rock Lobster” and other tunes at Lincoln Park in Somerville 4-6pm. Plus many other fun and amazing bands all day all around town!
(Also if you are wondering that’s me in the red tutu 😂)...
It’s hard to not feel overwhelmed by the world/news these days, but I had a lovely time today playing some music and making my inflatable raptor costume dance along! Was happy guests joined us for my favorite #SchoolOfHonk tune! https://youtu.be/E9bfIlUDMIA
Well, a full and lovely day seeing family, playing great sets of music with the #SchoolOfHonk in Salem MA, and then seeing “A Chorus Line” back in New Haven was marred only by getting ?shot by a beebeegun? 😬 walking back to car. (I’m ok. Overall day still a win.)
A snippet of #SomervillePorchfest fun with the #SchoolOfHonk (we would not fit on an actual porch 😂) 🎵
so it was a very difficult week (because of some difficult patient cases/outcomes, and other life things) and I can't sleep but I'm trying to focus on excitement for Somerville #Porchfest tomorrow... come see #SchoolOfHonk in Lincoln Park late afternoon !...
Took a lovely impromptu day trip to Boston to play music & dance with #SchoolofHonk (a much needed respite from worrying about world) (we wear polka dots!) and on the way back to CT, realized the people at rest stop probably had questions about my outfit 😂
Are you a Somerville-area parent with a kid 10yo or older who likes band? #SchoolOfHonk is bringing back Summer Honk! Mon-Fri, July 25-August 5, 9am-12pm in Porter Square schoolofhonk.org/summerhonk/
Things I learned during a day of family time + #SchoolOfHonk parade:
- my French is VERY rusty
- my trombone skills are approaching pre-pandemic levels
- polka dots in French is “pois”
- my 7 yo niece is better then me at Spelling Bee & also um ??teenager-like sass happens at 7?!
Virtual #SchoolOfHonk gathering is giving me all the warm & fuzzy community feels: it’s too cold and COVID-y to play music outside today, but we’re still spending some time together enjoying music 💙
During residency, I needed a rewarding goal unrelated to medicine, & decided to learn a new instrument. In early 2020, proud of my progress on trombone, I bought myself one! Then… pandemic. Today was my first day back playing it with #SchoolOfHonk!
Picking out my outfit for most wonderful time of the year 🎵🎺🎶 Come see #SchoolOfHonk in Davis Sq Sat at noon (look for polka dots 😉), and check out calendar of awesome community events & music happening throughout Boston all day! https://honkfest.org/
It may be years until I play a wind instrument inside again 😩 but thank goodness for outdoor ventilation & vaccines for letting the wonderful #SchoolOfHonk still be part of my life

Sunday diastole: music in Cambridge with #SchoolOfHonk and back in New Haven for sunset 🙂
My #SchoolOfHonk boat trip and parade with my niece and nephew got rained out ,🙁 and not gonna lie… I am very disappointed to be missing out on our first “fun with ‘outside recorders’” community band adventure since Pre-COVID times
“I ain’t afraid of no ghost!” and other fun with #SchoolOfHonk 🎶😁🎵
My last unmasked large gathering, one year ago, with #SchoolOfHonk (this outside performance was preceded by inside wind instrument playing, but luckily the epi gods smiled upon us). At least it was fun & wholesome 🙂!!! https://youtu.be/iicQ1NKBD6Y
3 years ago today, I attended my 1st practice & parade with #SchoolOfHonk. I can’t say enough about how much I love this radically inclusive community of musicians & dancers... & how much I resent #COVID for limiting our groove. A clip of our last hurrah: https://youtu.be/iicQ1NKBD6Y
Distanced joyous dance party with #SchoolOfHonk! @honkunited
It's @honkunited day 2! Including some Boston-area favs such as THE AMAZING (I miss it so much) #SchoolOfHonk: our radically inclusive, all ages, all levels brass band and music school! Come see some activist street bands rock a distanced festival....
One of the hardest things to give up during this pandemic has been #SchoolOfHonk. While we’re sad to be missing @honkfest this year, we are persevering with a 7 continent (!!!) virtual street band festival that starts tomorrow! Come join us 😁🎺🥳...
When you’re a radically inclusive brass band & dance troupe that can’t get together because #coronavirus, a Zoom dance party is the obvious solution #ZoomLobster #ApartTogether #SchoolOfHonk https://youtu.be/2p3js3ccYYU
The world is scary, so here is more joyous #SchoolOfHonk dancing in sunshine! (Also I swear I sometimes play instruments in this band, but this dance is simply too enjoyable, so I have opted out of learning it on the trombone😄also #cardio) https://youtu.be/iicQ1NKBD6Y
Today at #SchoolOfHonk : played my new trombone for the first time, welcomed a dinosaur into our dancing troupe #RadicallyInclusive #BrassBand #Somerville
