Hi Lambuth Singers,
The recordings from our concert tour came out well. I've had problems with the CD burners in our computer lab freezing up in the middle of burning...I think they're starting to show their age. I have my laptop back from the Computer Center now, so will be able to resume burning tomorrow. I should be able to mail out CDs by the end of the week. The jazz combo will be burned on a second CD which I'll send later in the summer--they wouldn't all fit on one CD with the choral stuff.
Hope everyone's summer is going well. I'm getting ready to go to the Oregon Bach Festival in 3 weeks. I'm taking Amtrak out, going from Memphis to Chicago, then across the Northwest to Oregon. Should be a fun trip!
Cheers,
RCB

CDs of Texas tour
Hi all,
Catherine Childs posted a comment to ask about CDs of the Texas tour. I have a good portion of the recording session and concerts edited and should have it done by the end of the weekend. I'll send each of you a CD and should have them in the mail by the middle of next week.
Catherine, could you e-mail the group photos from Houston to me? I'll put one of them on the CD cover. The clearance rack at Wal-Mart this week had case insert paper for next to nothing, so I'll be able to design a cool jacket for it.

New singers for the fall
Hi gang,
I was up at Dyersburg High School today for their scholarship awards ceremony. We have four men coming to Lambuth this fall from the Dyersburg choral program -- two All-State tenors, an All-State baritone, and an All-West bass. They're excited about coming to Lambuth!
Also got an e-mail from Carol Culbreath, choir director at Whitehaven HS in Memphis. Her daughter Amy (2nd chair All-State alto!) has paid her deposit and will also be joining us this fall.
Several more people coming - I'll give you more details later. If my calculations are correct, we should have at least 50 singers in the choirs this fall!
Cheers!

Thanks Lambuth Singers - keep in touch!
Hi everybody,
Singers - Thank you SO MUCH for a fabulous Texas tour! I was really pleased with your performances -- and even happier with your positive spirit, professionalism, and desire to succeed. Plus you're a fun bunch of folks to hang out with!
I sent out the ACDA Southern Division audition CD yesterday. We'll keep our fingers crossed for getting an invite to Charleston. I'll be sending out a TMEA audition CD later this week as well.
I'd love to hear from you over the summer. Post a comment on the blog and let all of us know what you're up to! I'll be posting news and thoughts from time to time. I'll hopefully be posting daily from the Oregon Bach Festival to give you my impressions -- although I can't get my laptop to start up, so I may be computerless! (It was plugged in to the cigarette lighter on the bus, so I'm hoping it's just a fried power adapter.)
Have a great summer - I'm looking forward to the fall!

Thanks Concert Choir and 2005 grads!
Hey gang,
Great job at commencement today! I heard a lot of comments about how good you sounded.
Thanks for all your hard work this year. I've really enjoyed my time with you! And to our new alumni--thanks for all that you've done for our department over the past several years. You've added to our musical community here ENORMOUSLY, and we wish you all the best in your future achievements! (If you become rich and famous, give a couple of million to Lambuth, and we'll name the new music building after you....) :)
Everyone, check in on the blog from time to time and let me know what you're up to this summer--I'd love to hear from you. Have a great summer!
