Links to readings, websites, and listening playlists

Here, in one handy collection, are the readings you (should have) read, websites visited, and listening lists.  You'll want to reference a representative sample of these in your synthesis/summary/reflection piece.

-"One Quality Sound"


What is ideal future of C.M.
-How have the ideas and experiences you've had changed your outlook/ musical future?

So here is a overall summary of what needs to happen and what's been accomplished so far:

General Line-up:
-The Dells: 4-5 songs
-DePauw Capella: 4-5 songs
-Bootleg (String Quartet): 4-5 songs
-Jennifer Peacock/Stephen Shannon: 1-2 songs
-Brad Harris: 1 song

FOOD:
-Burke is in the process of getting ahold of Steve Santo.
-We need to decide how much coffee and hot cocoa we need (or punch if those don't work)
-How many donuts are we going to get, from where, and who is getting them.
-Do we want cookies as well?
-Laura, do you have any ideas for how to set up the food? Like, plates, bowls for toppings, etc.?
-If anyone has a car/time, we should go to kroger/walmart to get marshmallows, candy canes, and whipped cream!! Let me know!

Decorations:
-Laura, let us know how decoration stuff is going - I am sure you have it all under control :)

Program:
-Sarah, DePauw Capella can't get me their set list till tomorrow night but then we can finalize the order and get the "program" finished.
-We need to either figure out the projector thing or just have people MC the concert

Lighting:
-We need to decide what lighting each group will have
-I suppose we should have a schedule for how to change the lighting and have a lighting crew

Publicity:
-KEEP TALKING UP THE CONCERT
-Invite everyone on Facebook and see if there are flyers to hand out to people


This thing is gonna be so cool. You guys rock.

Set-Up

Laura and I went to the ballroom today and figured out the lighting and where each group will go, just the general layout. The projector would be cool, but it is kind of in the way in the dead center of the ballroom, what do you guys think? Should we still use it?
We now have my string quartet (Bootleg), The Dells, Jennifer Peacock, Brad Harris and DePauwcapella. Yay! Any other comments or concerns?

Steve Santo was not in his office today after class. I sent him an email and anxiously await a response.

Posters/flyers printed!!!!!

The posters as well as the mini-flyers have been printed, and some have already been distributed in the GCPA and UB, as well as my floor in Lucy. Please let me know about additional areas where you'd like to see them placed and/or if you would like to offer your help (*googly eyes*).
