The Big 5-0!
The UNI Varsity Men's Glee Club turns 50 years old in 2010. And since we're always looking for a reason to celebrate, the Glee Club is planning a celebration worthy of this historic achievement, set for the first weekend in December. All Glee Club alumni and friends are invited. We're busy working on a 'coffee-table book' to capture the history of the Glee Club. Our working title of this book is "Brothers Sing On - The First 50 Years". We're hoping to capture images and stories from all 50 years of the Glee Club. If you have something you would like to share, please share it here. Specifically, we're looking for your favorite memories; a funny tour story, a favorite story about a past director, an unforgettable Christmas Variety Show moment - anything that you think deserves to be remembered. What does the Glee Club mean to you? If you have a photo(s) to help tell your story, that will make it even better! We will produce this hard-cover book and have it ready for you to order in time for the Christmas shows in December. This is open to ANY former UNI Varsity Men's Glee Club member, whether you participated 4+ years, or just one semester. More information will be coming soon concerning the shows so stay tuned!
