[Ponte Alto] New Bardic in nearby Highland Foorde.

[Barbara]

Hi.  I realized that I hadn't answered this yet.  Sorry about that...emails
stacked up while I was vacationing at the beach last week. (happy sigh)

You (and anyone else!) are always welcome to come to Ponte Alto's Alle
Psallite practice. We ARE on Tuesday nights these days, and we love having
new singers join us. While we are theoretically a Ponte Alto group, we
clearly are more a "ponte-bach" group, as many of our singers live or play
in Stierbach; we've had folks from Highland Foorde, too, sing with us in
years past.

But to clarify: we'd be introducing singers to choral singing, which is a
tad different from what the SCA knows as bardic performance.  Our efforts
are all about team-work and sometimes the music is rather challenging. 

We love getting new experienced singers, but we're also happy to have people
join us who have little musical background, because "we'll fix that."
Seriously, we've had people who had never sung in a choral group before and
couldn't read music, and they've learned as we went along. 

Anyone is welcome to contact me for more info!
Anne

Greetings!

I will be having a bardic circle the first Tuesday of every month in the
evening, preferably starting at 5 at my house in case we want to go
somewhere.  If you are interested in visiting please e-mail me off the list
for my contact information.  (HINT: It's an easy ride up route 15 North for
most of you.  Seriously.  Not that far.)  No need to RSVP if you already
know my contact info.

Could I bring people interested in bardic to Ponte Alto's Alle Psalte at
some point?  Not necessarily on the first Tuesday.  (I thought you might
want to confer about that so I posted about it here.)

You may ask, "Kalara, the first Tuesday of the month has JUST PASSED!  Why
the first Tuesday of the month you crazy Hungarian?"  Well, it's because the
Royal Mile Pub in Wheaton has this really great sea chanty sing the first
Tuesday of every month so in addition to meeting at my house or the Haven I
would like the OPTION of carpooling out to this pub.  Also it gives people
plenty of warning.  

Regardless of where we go, I will provide a packet of song lyrics for anyone
who mentions it in the "contact information" e-mail.  Also...snacks.  I
think I can manage some snacks for people who come.

YIS,

Kalara Zrinyi.
