Up Coming Events / TDE News:UPDATES:
April 29, 2025
Greetings, We wanted to get this information out as soon as possible. Anne Magee contacted me about our first Saturday practices for June and July at Nanini Library. There was a conflict with the times we are using so the library scheduled us for Noon to 2:30 pm for these two months. As of today, after that we will return our normal 10:00 practice times. We know many people have plans for summer and this may cause a conflict for some of us, but the library had things scheduled for summer events and this is what time schedule we could get. Be advised there will possibly still be some people in the room when we arrive at noon so please enter quietly or wait until they are finished to enter. Thank you, Anne and Bob This quarter (April May June) we will be doing Waltzes for our main song lists for the second hour of our gathering.
At the Saturday practice there was a poster placed for people to vote on the what genres they would like to do during the next quarter. Here are the results of the voting: TDE Theme List -16 people voted (4 choices each) Waltz 10 -> Current Quarter Folk Songs 8 Jam Tunes 7 Ballads 7 Spirituals 4 Classical 4 Lullabies 3 Glazener Songs 3 * For songs we have permission to use Seifert Songs 3 Hymns 2 Show Tunes 2 Joe Collins Month 1 * For Books we have or songs we have permission for.
