Yamaha Synthesizer Donated to Local 47 Rehearsal Rooms

Thank you to Life Member Sheldon Mehr for his generous donation of a Yamaha Synthesizer and hand-crafted wooden music table to the Rehearsal Rooms!

Our Rehearsal Rooms continue to appreciate all backline donations, especially:

  • keyboards
  • guitar/keyboard amps
  • and synths

Rehearsal Rooms: New Backline Available

AFM Local 47 would like to thank our neighbor CenterStaging for generously donating four bass amps to our rehearsal room backline. A bass amp stack — from brands like Gallien Krueger, SWR, and TC Electronics — will now be stationed in Rooms 3, 4, 5, 6, and 7. 

A huge THANK YOU to CenterStaging and coordinator Ryan Smith for helping our musicians rock on!

New Rehearsal Room Rates for 2025

As of January 1, 2025, rehearsal room rental fees will be increased by $5. There is still no charge for backline (PA, microphones, amps, etc.). Life Members will continue to receive a $5 discount.

We understand the importance of our rehearsal spaces to members and are happy to continue to provide these spaces for a fraction of what is charged elsewhere.
