Hi everyone,

The launch of our debut album is in sight! Simply titled "Duwende" and set
for release on 7.06.01, it's got ten original tracks including concert
faves like "Sister Carmencita" and newer tunes like "All Too Good"--not to
mention the twisted studio version of the oft-requested "Pomper." With
gorgeous studio production by Jeff Thacher, this is one fierce hot mama of
an album that you won't want to miss out on.

If you're going to be in town, come join us at the release party! We'll
sing at you for a good three-quarters of an hour and then come and mingle.
You can also get the CD there at a $12 discount price--available
thereafter for $15 at all our live shows, and (soon) online; details to
come.

If we're new to you and you're new to us, say hello at
http://www.duwende.com. Let's be friends.

Hope you like the album--and hope to see you at the party!

Peace,
DUWENDE

Voices Across America Update

After a lot of considerations, the final date has been chosen as
Sunday, September 30th for our Voices Across America Event!  That
date is
available for most groups and is a better day for families and the
general
public to attend.  The start time for all concerts should coordinate,
respectively, to all time zones.  The following are the start times
that
will represent different cities across the nation:

Hawaii - 9:00am
Alaska - 11:00am
Pacific - Noon
Mountain - 1:00pm
Central - 2:00pm
Eastern - 3:00pm

As for the venues, it is recommended that the concerts be held in a
park, recreation hall, mall, or other easily accessible public
location,
with room enough for all.  A stage setting will depend upon each
location accordingly, so choose with a good eye for visibility and
media
coverage.  Sound equipment is the biggest hurdle, as power may not be
in
close proximity, but, most parks or recreation facilities have power
for
reserved use.  Having one group set up the sound, for all to use, may
be
the easiest solution, with the arrangement of microphones in a choir
setting or on stands.  Limited mics means pairing up or grouping
around.
Video and/or audio recording is up to the individual groups, as local
media will probably be there to capture the event.  The only
stipulation
that we ask, is that the event begin as close to the allotted time as
possible, with the first song being our National Anthem, "The
Star-Spangled Banner".  Most groups have, at one time or another,
been asked to
sing at a local game or holiday event, therefore, it probably already
resides in their repertoire.  If not, you may find all the words
here:
http://www.treefort.org/~rgrogan/web/usa1.htm  Determining which
group
will sing the opening is up to those attending, but could be sung by
all the groups, and public, if desired.  Vocal Universe is contacting
all
local Red Cross chapters to ensure that a volunteer is there to
collect
donations.  If for some reason there is not a local Red Cross chapter
in the area, a firefighter or police officer will also be there to
assist.  Web donations are also accepted on the Red Cross website and
through PayPal.  The World Wide Web addresses are:
www.redcross.org/donate or
www.paypal.com .

Vocal Universe has also begun the process of contacting national
media
venues for complete coverage.  These venues include: television (ABC,
CBS, CNN, FOX, MTV, NBC, PAX, PBS, UPN, VH1, WB, and many private
cable
stations), radio (ABC, CBS, NBC, Public Radio), newspapers
(Associated
Press, New York Times, San Francisco Chronicle, USA Today),
periodicals
(Good Housekeeping, People, Time-Life, Us), organization mailing
lists,
etc.  Local news, radio, newspaper, and mailing lists should all be
contacted a.s.a.p., by groups attending, to announce the event and
draw
public attention.  Word of mouth is also a reliable, and sometimes,
surprising factor.

We are more than confident in the judgment and decision-making of
each
group participating, and we expect a wonderful turnout.  For your
assistance, we have included the 7 habits of highly effective free
public
vocal performance checklist:

1) Call and reserve the public park or recreation hall, usually with
the local Park and Rec Authority, or mall administration for indoor
activities.
2) Contact the other groups attending, to plan singing order,
equipment
setup, or something special.
3) Contact local media (television, radio, newspaper and
universities)
to make sure they announce the event and will have representatives
there.
4) Contact local fire and police departments to attend and show their
support.  Have them bring materials to hand out to the public.
People
would love to see them.
5) Prepare song set lists and gather your group's products and
information for everyone interested at the event.
5) Have fun and help the audience to do so too.  Many people desire
to
help in some way, and this may be the only opportunity they find.
6) Clean up the event area and thank everyone involved for making it
a
wonderful success.
7) Send CASA and Vocal Universe stories, photos and the total
monetary
donations of your local event and we'll post them for all to read.

As there is no set time length for the event, it is up to each group
on
their performance length and audience participation.  If the party is
going good, then don't let it end!  And, by all means, promote your
group and vocal music.  Having group CDs, shirts, magnets, concert
announcements, etc., will help to increase exposure and fan base.

Finally, please submit your group name, address, phone number and any
other contact information for us to supply to other groups
participating
in your area.  We will send out a completed list to each demographic
area by Friday morning.  If your group knows of any other amateur,
collegiate, semi-pro, or professional groups that wish to attend,
encourage
them, support them, grab them and don't let go!

Again, CASA and Vocal Universe wish to sincerely thank all the groups
and individuals who have volunteered to participate in this national
event.  We are very honored and grateful to be helping the victims
and
families of last Tuesday's tragedy.  If you have any questions,
comments,
ideas, or just have something to say, please do not hesitate to
contact
CASA or Vocal Universe.

Wishes for the best,
