WEDNESDAY Volleyball 🏐 in Riverside Park

This is a low-key, just-for-fun volleyball meetup. All skill levels are welcome! We will meet in Riverside Park (NYC) weather permitting, at the 105th / 106th St volleyball courts. WHAT TO BRING: • Shoes: We will be playing on sand or asphalt courts based on availability and preference. I’d prepare for both just in case. If you don’t want to go barefoot in the sand, I’d suggest bringing closed-toed sneakers that can get a bit dirty. For the asphalt court, tennis shoes or basketball shoes would probably work best, but any general-purpose sneakers should do. • Plenty of Water, Sunscreen, Sunglasses, etc. Whatever you would normally bring for a couple of hours out in the sun. HOW TO FIND US (detailed version): Riverside Park is divided into three sections/levels along 101st - 120th st. The top level (after you enter the park and walk downhill) is a couple long walkways separated by grass sections. The mid-level (where the volleyball courts are located) is a long string of sports fields in front of the highway. The volleyball courts are adjacent to 106th st. / 105th st. (see map), but you will need to enter the park at 103rd or 108th st. and walk north or south depending on where you are coming from. From the walkway, walk down the stairs to the mid-level, and walk towards 106th St. Look for the large sandpit/monkey rings in between fields. The courts are not very recognizable on their own, (just a few poles in the sand/asphalt for hanging nets) but we will have some nets set up beforehand, so you should know it when you see it. 📣 Guidelines: RSVPs: If you RSVP, show up! No-shows without notice will not be tolerated. Repeated offenses may lead to penalties. Waitlist: Waitlisted players cannot play. Only those who are on RSVP can play without penalty. Respect Hosts: Follow host guidance & be open to feedback. Disruptive behavior may result in expulsion. Fair Play: Avoid hogging the ball Safety: Avoid kicking the ball and aggressive play to prevent injuries. TLDR: Please honor your RSVPs Players not signed up can NOT play Respect others & don’t hog the 🏐

Unsettled Scores Fall season starts 9/9/26

Unsettled Scores is a not for profit, member-run choir where music lovers from all walks of life come together to rock out to the best of pop and rock. Based in NYC, we’re more than just a choir—we’re a creative community that welcomes everyone, regardless of musical experience, to express themselves through music. At Unsettled Scores, we believe that everyone has something unique to contribute. Whether you’re singing, arranging, directing, or even playing along, we encourage our members to get involved and explore their creative potential. It’s not just about singing, it’s about collaboration and having a great time doing it. We rehearse Wednesday evenings in midtown Manhattan for our vibrant seasonal concerts, special showcases, and exciting gigs across the city. Over the past years, we’ve brought our energy to events like the Make Music NYC, the NYC Marathon, and even opened for the former Staten Island Yankees. Interested in joining the fun? Reach out and let’s make some music together! Calling all sopranos, altos, tenors and basses! Do you want to take your shower concerts to the next level and singin harmony with a group of ambitious amateur singers? This is your chance! For the upcoming Fall/Winter cycle, Unsettled Scores is looking to recruit a few new faces and voices. We rehearse weekly on Wednesdays at a convenient location in Manhattan! We have a minimum of 2 performances per cycle, and do a bunch of fun social activities on the side. We’re an inclusive community choir focused on singing pop/rock music from the 1960s to now, with people from all walks of life. Chances are though, we don’t have one of you yet, so consider this your personal invite! If you dabble on an instrument on the side, that’s even better because we like to play with live music whenever we can! Please contact organizer for more details. "Audition' is only to determine where your voice fits in our choir. No stress! https://unsettledscores.nyc/ https://www.instagram.com/unsettledscoreschoir?igsh=MTluaHhuNGh3aTVxZw== https://youtube.com/@unsettledscores?si=YPQk85CGAm0FJTXx
