It’s a beautiful day here in Columbia, and there are lots of choices for fun on this Sunday.

We’ve pulled together five events to consider:

Music

That ’70s Super Showcase: 2-6 p.m. Sunday at Music Farm Columbia. The Freeway Music school will have a ’70s-themed showcase where about 150 music students will perform songs from the funkiest decade on record. There will be ’70s decorations, attire and (we hope) dance moves. Groovy. 1022 Senate St. Free. www.musicfarm.com
