🚗💨⚡ POINT LOMA, WHAT A RIDE! ⚡🎶

The flux capacitor has powered down, the instruments are packed away, and our Fall '26 "Back to the Music" Jam Session season has officially come to an end in Point Loma! 🎸🕰️

But before we close the time machine doors, we have some very special people to celebrate… OUR ROCKSTAR VOLUNTEERS! 🤘💙

Every week, our volunteer mentors showed up ready to make music, build friendships, encourage our Jammers, and bring the kind of energy that makes our Jam Session community shine!

A cosmic-sized THANK YOU to Kind Souls Club and HandsOn San Diego for being part of our volunteer crew this season! 🌟 Your kindness, enthusiasm, and willingness to jump right into the musical fun helped make every Jam an experience to remember.

And of course, a heartfelt THANK YOU to All Souls Church for continuing to open your doors to our Point Loma Jam Fam and giving our community a place to come together through music! 💙

We've traveled through the decades, shared plenty of laughs, and made memories that will last long after the DeLorean is parked.

To every volunteer who joined us on this adventure: YOU helped make the magic happen! 🎶✨

And while this chapter may be coming to a close, our musical journey is far from over…

⚡ Where we're going, we don't need roads… just a whole lot of HEART and MUSIC! 🎸💙

SEE YOU IN THE FUTURE, POINT LOMA! 🚗💨

⚡🚗 GREAT SCOTT! THAT'S A WRAP, CARLSBAD! 🎸💙

On October 7th, we parked the DeLorean one last time at our Carlsbad Jam Session, bringing our Fall '26 "Back to the Music" season to a close! 🕰️🎶

After six weeks of traveling through the decades, making music, building friendships, and creating unforgettable memories, we have one very important group of people to thank… OUR INCREDIBLE VOLUNTEERS! 🌟

From helping our Jammers rock out during Jam Time to encouraging social connections and making sure everyone feels included, our volunteer mentors are truly the heart of what makes Jam Sessions so special. 💙

A HUGE shoutout to The Carlsbad Women's Club and HandsOn San Diego for helping bring such wonderful volunteers into our musical adventures this season! Your time, energy, and dedication make a difference, and we couldn't do it without you! 🥁🎸

And a special THANK YOU to Christ Presbyterian Church for welcoming us into your space and providing a home for our Carlsbad Jam Fam! 🏠💙

As we close this chapter of our musical journey through time, we're reminded that while the music may change through the decades, the power of community never goes out of style.

⚡ Carlsbad Jam Fam, we'll see you in the future! 🚗💨

🚗💨⚡ WAIT A MINUTE, DOC… HAVEN'T WE SEEN THIS ROCKSTAR BEFORE?! ⚡🎸

If you tuned in to our Chula Vista Jam Session earlier this week, you might recognize this familiar face! 👀🎤

We hope you enjoyed his Guest Musician performance on Wednesday, because now it's time to officially introduce Cole Daniels, our newest Music Therapy Intern! 🤘💙

Cole joined the Banding Together team at the beginning of October and wasted no time hopping into the DeLorean for our Fall '26 "Back to the Music" adventure!

Joining us mid-season, Cole jumped right into the action as we launched our Chula Vista and El Cajon Jam Sessions, bringing his musical talents and enthusiasm along for the ride! 🎶⚡

From rocking the Guest Musician stage to learning the ins and outs of our Jam Session program, Cole is already getting to experience the many ways music can bring people together.

We're so excited to have him on board and look forward to watching him grow, connect with our Jammers, and develop his skills throughout his internship! 💙

After all, the future of music starts with the next generation of musicians! 🚀🎸

Help us give Cole a big Jam Fam welcome in the comments! 👏

⚡🎶 THE FUTURE OF MUSIC THERAPY IS LOOKING BRIGHT! 🎶⚡

We've spent our "Back to the Music" season exploring the sounds of the past, but today we're turning our attention to someone who's helping shape the future of our Jam Sessions! 🚗💨💙

Jam Fam, please help us officially welcome our Senior Music Therapy Intern, Jayda Hunstad! 🌟

Jayda joined us toward the tail end of our Summer season, and Fall '26 marks her very first FULL Jam Session season!

Since hopping aboard the DeLorean, she's been doing an incredible job building meaningful relationships with our Jammers, stepping into leadership opportunities, and taking the lead in many aspects of our program. 🎸🥁

As she continues to grow and refine her talents as a future music therapist, we've loved watching her confidence, creativity, and connections with our Jammers flourish! 💙

One of the most exciting parts of Jam Session is seeing not only our Jammers grow, but also the next generation of music therapy professionals who help make these experiences possible.

⚡ The future is in good hands, and we can't wait to see where Jayda's journey takes her!

Drop a 💙 in the comments to give Jayda a warm Jam Fam welcome!
