Fall Festival Class
2
Class Time! Region 11 is coming together for our one day, one wonderful class in the brand-new format. Replacing the all-day online fall festival weekend. And more classes will follow in the upcoming months giving new opportunities for us to gather. For tomorrow's class: RSVP in messages on the Facebook post if you are able to attend. If you are not a Facebook person reply to this email but to NOT "reply all" so we don't put the region in a notification tsunami. Bobbette will lead us in a discussion about judging and more! We will talk about setting priorities that will benefit you most in performances including competitions and how the scoresheets can assist in this. We're also hoping to listen to contest performances to determine what guided the scores received and how to identify those levels in your own chorus or quartet. See you There!

Summer Sizzler Exit Survey
2
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: https://forms.gle/8qrKrBZt2M55Cyys9 Summer Sizzler Exit Survey Your voice is vital. It wouldn't be a Summer Sizzler without you. Our goal is to determine which successes should be repeated, what lessons we have learned, and what unique ideas we can try. Answer as many as you can, skip what doesn't apply to you. forms.gle 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!
