[ba-filk-announce] The second annual Consonance filk musical! / Consonance songbook

[Alan Thiesen <thiesen@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Consonance 2004 is pleased to announce that we will present the world 
premiere of "Doctor Who and the Torians", a short two-act filk musical by 
S. Bruce, with music from the works of Gilbert and Sullivan.

We are looking for performers to appear in the show. We think it will be 
great fun. If you are interested, please let me know by email.

You will be expected to prepare but not memorize your part beforehand. We 
can send you MIDI files for any tunes you don't know. We will only have 
time for one rehearsal at the con. You can read from a script in the actual 
performance. Performers will include Blake Hodgetts with his keyboard, and 
the author, S. Bruce.

You will find the complete script at 
http://www.renegadechickens.com/wacky/Torians/Torians.pdf.

This might be a good time to thank everybody who performed in last year's 
musical, "HMS Trek-a-Star". Special thanks to co-author Dorothy Heydt for 
filling in for an ill performer at the last minute, and to Lee Gold for 
bringing HMS Trek-a-Star to our attention.


Also, Lynn Gold is looking for songs for the Consonance 2004 songbook. Lynn 
can take submissions in any format readable in Finale (Notepad, Allegro, 
etc.), text files, MS Word files, and FrameMaker files.  She can also 
handle a combination of a text file and a MIDI file if they're easy enough 
to match up.

Submissions are due by midnight PST February 25th. If you have any 
questions, please let her know.

Hope to see you all at Consonance!

Thanks,

   Alan
