Keynote Christmas Season 2024

 Shonna's family left on Sunday and our Keynote performance season started on Monday morning with a two-hour final rehearsal.  We did nine performances, ending with our concert on December 11th in the tabernacle.

At one of our performances at a rest home, we found Mary Dawn Cox- an original Keynote.  Keynotes started 61 years ago!  Her daughter and granddaughter were with her to hear us.  It was such an honor to sing for her. 

I spent many hours preparing cheat sheets, mic maps, position charts.  Being the leader is a huge job.  These are just a FEW of the many charts, etc, I made.  I learned a lot and have written notes on what I've learned.  Hopefully next year will be easier.





We were asked to sing for the Red Cliffs, Utah temple sealers and wives Christmas social.  Never have we had such an attentive audience.

Our tabernacle concert went very well, with only minor glitches.  It is an honor to sing in that sacred, historic building.

I love each of these dear ladies and could write a whole post, talking about each of them- their fine qualities and what they contribute to our group.  They are my Keynote sisters.






Outside, the lights were so beautiful!




I am the leader for Christmas. I have already started planning and choosing music for next Christmas.   Kim is the leader for the spring season.  I happily turn over the leadership reins to her for a while.  I love being a Keynote!

You are amazing and do such a good job. I wish I could sing with you and the Keynotes. Some day I'd like to attend one of your performances in the Tabernacle.
