KING FARM MUSIC JAM SOCIAL CLUB IS BACK
The King Farm Music Jam Social Club is a group of hobby musicians, 18 years and older, who live in King Farm and who come together to play music. This group is sponsored by the King Farm Citizens Assembly. Our jam sessions are held monthly throughout the year.
The next jam session is on Sunday, March 16, 2025, from 2:00 PM to 4:00PM. If you require time to set up, the meeting room will be available 30 minutes before the start of the session.
The sessions are held at the King Farm Community Center, 300 Saddle Ridge Circle, Rockville, MD 20850.
Guitarists, keyboardists, percussionists, and other musicians of all levels are welcome to participate. Bring your musical instrument. It is also helpful to bring a music stand and a power strip if power is needed for your equipment. For those who sing, a microphone would be helpful.
Musicians take turns selecting songs. Then, all the musicians play each song together. The person who selects the song may sing or have another player sing. Songs are selected from a jam songbook and generally have common chords. A phone, tablet, or computer is helpful.
Also, feel free to bring song sheets for any songs with common chords you would like to share; 10 to 15 copies should do it.
Please email kingfarmmusicjam@gmail.com if you would like to participate. Thank you.

RockView Program
If you have a ring camera (or other front door/doorbell camera), you can register it with the RCPD. The RockView program allows residents and business owners to voluntary register their privately owned video security camera systems with the RCPD. Registration in the RockView program does not enable law enforcement to view camera footage without an owner’s permission. However, the RockView program will allow city police to quickly identify security cameras that may have captured criminal activity when a crime is reported nearby. For more information about the RockView program, click here.
If you have a crime or concern to report, please contact the Rockville City Police Department at:
Non-Emergency: 240-314-8900
Emergency: 9-1-1
2 W. Montgomery Ave, Rockville, Maryland 20850
