September 25 Email Blast
MD IDOL rules are now posted!
Come on you songbirds, or relatives of one. Shake off the cobwebs from that falsetto; let that rapturous soprano voice sparkle. Enter the search for the Mount Doug Idol! And if your own voice has shriveled even as your waistline may have grown, encourage your children or grandchildren to enter. Greatness may be just a CD recording away, or at least an opportunity to sing to the accompaniment of our own great David Foster!
Advance tickets on sale starting Tuesday, September 27th @ 9:30am!
We promised advance access to Idol tickets for registered Alumni only and we're about to deliver. Starting Tuesday, tickets are exclusively yours to purchase before the general public gets a shot at them. Limit of four tickets per alumni, so if you’re married to a classmate, that makes eight tickets plus four for each of your children and grandchildren who attended. Hey, leave some for the rest of us!
