Following Shelter-in-Place guidelines and event precautions of the City of San Francisco, we’re moving Field Day to a digital platform in the best interest of the health and safety of our beloved community. Don’t worry, the show will go on…line! Field Day 2020 will take place June 1–June 7 with a week-long broadcast of our Field Day performer videos shared on Facebook and YouTube.
Field Day is CMC’s extravaganza of music and community with a school-wide Performathon, raising money for scholarships and tuition assistance, and celebrating our beloved institution and the visionary founder behind it, Gertrude Field.
Strike up the BANDwidth, because we want YOU to be the stars of the show! Getting involved takes three simple steps:
Field Day 2020 is dedicated to the memory of Nancy Livingston, tireless arts advocate.
