*Members are more than welcome to attend and simply observe the event even if they do not want to submit a song for feedback!

We will play the first verse and first chorus of each song and the guest will provide comments/suggestions/feedback.

Up to 30 members can participate and will be played in order of arrival - Members traveling greater than 75 miles or 2 hours from Davidson County will be given priority to participate.*
