As you may have seen in a previous post, the 2024 set list has been announced. At this time, we're looking for people interested in composing lyrics for some of the songs. From our 2024 set list, these are the songs that we feel would benefit from altered lyrics: Philip Bailey feat. Phil Collins - Easy Lover Cher - If I Could Turn Back Time Kelly Clarkson - Since U Been Gone Peggy Lee - Big Spender Amy Winehouse - Valerie Please comment on this thread prior to April 11 to let us know you're interested in writing lyrics for a song. Also please indicate your top 2 picks. Assignments will be made via email by April 16 with a deadline for completion of May 16. If there is a song on the setlist but not listed above that you feel would be a good candidate for having altered lyrics written, please feel free to share that in your comment along with a quick explanation of the lyrical topic you are thinking of. We cannot guarantee approval, but are open to considering these suggestions. We're always looking for new ideas and new voices so even if you haven't done this in the past, and/or are not performing with the band, please feel free to step forward! Keep in mind that the Tessiturians committee reserves the right to edit your lyrics as necessary and that there’s no guarantee we will be playing all of these songs - we may have to cut or change one or two depending how many people actually sign up for the band this year. We also reserve the right to go with original lyrics if we feel that’s a better fit for the set. Thanks!

FYI - Up north in Canada, we have a popular touring cover band called "Dwayne Gretzky" with a similar music selection, instrumentation and energy to what (I feel) our band leaders envision for the Tessiturians. For your inspiration and amusement, here are a few examples of their recent live performances: Dwayne Gretzky - Gimme! Gimme! Gimme! (A Man After Midnight) (ABBA cover) www.youtube.com/watch Dwayne Gretzky - Don't Stop Me Now (Queen cover) www.youtube.com/watch Dwayne Gretzky - Like A Prayer (Madonna cover) www.youtube.com/watch Enjoy, and have a great week everyone!https://communitytest.tessitura.com/topical_groups/tessiturians/c/e/1507Thu, 15 Feb 2024 17:00:00 GMTfd08b0f2-65fa-4b2b-916a-cce3e88b61d0:29425f7c-4986-4404-bdeb-11db6df73c30Tony DixonAs you know, the Tessiturians Band is now an official Tessitura Community Group!

I hope y'all had fun and learned a bit about the Tessiturians and our planning process. Some take-aways: We've decided to hold these meetings quarterly moving forward so our next meeting will likely be in February, exact date TBD. When we get closer to TLCC we'll be having additional meetings for TLCC planning purposes and those will be open to the full community as well. In the meantime we'll continue working on the 2024 set list. Thank you for your input on song selection via the ranking exercises we did – that information will help inform some of our decisions during the process. Expect more of those exercises in the future. We heard you on the topic of communication and the issues using Confluence and we'll be brainstorming ways we can communicate better as we get closer to TLCC. We're still looking for volunteers who like to edit video and would be interested in getting some of our 2023 videos ready for our @tessiturians YouTube channel – please respond here or directly to any of us if you're interested. We're open to hearing about other ways you might be interested in being involved with the band, for example maybe those of you with visual art and design interests would be into creating a logo for us? Please let us know if you liked the meeting format and content, and/or if you have suggestions for what you would like to see at future meetings. Cheers!
