Bulletin #2
November 20, 2013
We are happy to report that plans for our festival progress smoothly. If you are connected to the internet and have monitored our website,
www.swiss-sangerfest-tacoma-2014.org , you have seen the development of what us in store for Sängerfest 2014.
We are excited to confirm that we will have four guest groups participating in our festival. The Edmonton Swiss Men's Choir, and Wildrose Yodel Club from Alberta, Canada will be a part of the Grand Chorus, as well as performing independently. Two groups from Switzerland will entertain us as well. The Quartet Family Weingart, www.jodler-egge.ch , and Chörli, www.choer.li , are on tap to provide singing and yodeling several times.
With internet technology, we are proud to be the first host society to offer the ability to participating singers to access and download their singing parts for the Grand Concert songs. We will soon have links on the website to access and download pronunciations of the songs. Another first is the ability to register, order, and pay for badges online. For those who wish to order a badge by mail and pay for it by check, that is also an option. I have attached a copy of the badge order form for those of you receiving this bulletin by snail mail. As you can see from the order form, we have set the badge prices at $280 for non-singers, and $230 for singers.
The non-singer excursion will be a cruise aboard the Royal Argosy,
departing and returning to the Museum of Glass dock, only a five minute shuttle or fifteen minute walk from our host hotel, The Hotel Murano. Aboard the cruise to Quartermaster Harbor on Vashon Island, you will enjoy a luncheon buffet set on linen covered tables, with china and silverware, while being entertained by Quartet Family Weingart and Chörli.
The Royal Argosy will accommodate up to 600 passengers, and non badge holders will have the opportunity to buy tickets for the cruise.
The organization for the production of the Souvenir Book is progressing with Vicki (Imhof) Nickinovich in charge. We will have the ad order forms and pricing available soon as well as our requests to the participating choirs for their photo's and biographies.
Recently, I have received comments and questions through our club members rather than directly from the inquirer. This puts our club member in an uncomfortable position. I would appreciate it if anyone with questions or input would contact me personally and encourage them to do so. I assure you I don't bite. We are so excited with all the help that is constantly being offered by our greater Swiss Communities, that will contribute to making Sängerfest 2014 a memorable success.
Best regards,
Greg Vesey
