Staff member Dave Scott has been working on lists of musical selections every year for most of the past decade. This year’s listing is nearly complete. I’ve held off until June 8 to give more corps time to respond. We will hopefully be able to include any missing tunes in the full July edition, out June 29. SoundSport groups will be in the next issue, to!I’m still looking for a few additional writers to join the staff and provide positive reviews of shows between July 7 to July 31 in South Carolina, Minnesota, Georgia, Indiana, Alabama, Kansas, Wisconsin, Oregon, Utah, Idaho, Oklahoma, Missouri, Iowa, Wyoming and Texas.We actually have a wide variety of shows already assigned to staff members, but would still like to add more events reported.
