Hi All!
Forgive my covid brain Fog...
Verdugo was accidentally left off the chapter list. This has been fixed. Thanks for letting me know!

From: Susanne Walker
Sent: Monday, August 21, 2023 11:45 PM To: [email protected] <[email protected]> Subject: Summer Sizzler Exit Survey ?
Hello All!
I missed seeing you all at Sizzler!?
Thank you to all who planned, performed, shared knowledge, and created a safe and fun environment for everyone.
I must say, the reviews I've heard have been awesome. So many attended and had a really great time! Thank you to all who have shared pictures and experiences.
Here is a chance for all to share your experiences.?
Now that you've had a chance to get home and let all the good vibes soak in,?please take a moment to fill in the survey so the region knows what to continue
and how to serve our singers the best way possible.?
Your answers will not be made public. No judgements. This is just information to help shape future events.
If you did not attend, there is a small moment on the survey for you too so we can gather information on how to serve the most members. You will not have as many questions to answer but please share your insights on the ones available to you.
Your voice will be heard.?
I realize there were some significant issues with the accommodations.?
Before you share those experiences, and we do want to hear them, be aware that the responsibility for the unsatisfactory hotel situations is Harrah's.?
Research and planning went into securing this hotel. Live visits and discussions with staff indicated that we could expect a smooth, affordable, safe weekend with a helpful staff. The committee did their part. Harrah's fell short in certain areas. It is not
expected we will return to this hotel.?
Let this information guide your responses.?
I tried the survey out on myself, and it seems to run smoothly but if you run into any issues, please reply to me at moonsuep@...?
.
Find the Survey Here:
Thanks to all who returned medals or are in communication with me to negotiate your needs.
Thank you for everything YOU do to support your region and participate.
If you would like to do more to contribute, the region is eager to find a place for your talents!
Have fun, share your voice, and let's make 2024 the best Sizzler yet!
Coming the first weekend in August 2024!

STARs come out in Laughlin!
开云体育
Hello all you Region 11 All-STARs!? Looking forward to a wonderful weekend in Laughlin and we want to make sure everyone has a chance to do some singing!!? The schedule will include some STAR sessions that everyone can attend including:
Friday morning sectionals led by some R11 All-STAR volunteers!
Friday afternoon STAR review/rehearsal session!
A short performance by the STAR chorus for the Regional audience!
Check your schedule when it comes for more info (sectional rooms TBD, check with registration that morning), but for the Friday sessions we'll try to sing through ALL of the Regional STAR songs (available on the Region 11 website, password Starsinger), and
for the short performance we'll focus on Happy Together and It's My Song (with
Harmony Leads the Way thrown in if we can).? So I hope you join us for one or more of these STAR sessions, at least to review the STAR songs and do some
SINGING TOGETHER AT REGIONAL!!!
See you in Laughlin and let's bust some chords!!!
P.S.? There is no planned tag session so I'm attaching a few you can save/bring and sing around if you have 4 parts!? Enjoy!!
Logan P.-M.
  ? Some people march to the beat of a different drummer.? And some people POLKA! Pretty please? ?The physical appearance of your please makes no difference... |
