From Paul:

Hi guys
Here's the plan for Tuesday:

7:30 vocal technique
7:45 Dancing Medley
8:15 Wonderful One
8:35 guest quartet SASS
8:45 B/B
9:00 Steppin Out
9:10 run contest set
9:45 Bare Necessities
9:52 God Bless America
9:58 KAS/KTWWS

We need a couple of full runs of our contest set tonight- we haven't had many full runs of the two songs back-to-back!  Let's do ourselves proud, and make a statement about average guys loving to sing...that can kick *** in contest!!!!

From Mark:


Mankato: If there are any changes to your Mankato plans please see me.   Our current list shows 56 Commodores who are utilizing the 1 day registration and 16 who are going down for the weekend.  For those who are going down for just the day, we will have someone pick up all the registrations and bring them to Centennial so you don't have to go into Mankato to pick yours up.  Remember that to sing on stage you must have a registration.
Thanks

Mark Ortenburger

Dale Lynch had his right carotid artery cleaned out at Fairview Southdale hospital on Thursday, April 15.  It slowed him down a bit for a few days and he had to miss practice last Tuesday night but he hopes to join us tonight.  John Carlotto tore a knee ligament on Saturday, April 17.  He’s been giving it as much rest as he can so that he can sing with us in Mankato.  Although he missed last Tuesday he hopes to be with us tonight.

Please keep me informed about our sick and ailing members and remember them with your cards, calls and prayers.
