Important!

If you attended the meeting,

in person or on fb,

you know we discussed and voted

on a Pitch procedure change.

This will effect only Pitches when

our guest is in the room.

Designed to try to accommodate

everyone, it's now as follows;


Round 1

Everyone will be asked to email

1 song request, (title)

Songs must be received by

that Monday, 4PM Central.

We CAN NOT Guarantee any

songs received after this time.


Round 2, (if there is one)

Only members attending,

either in the room or on fb.

Since your songs are coming from

our Playlist, you can choose any

song you want now.


Any possible subsequent Rounds

In the room only


As always, you may get multiple Pitches

if you're writing with other members.
