Thanks so much to Johnny and Cyndy for getting our new shirts done! Thanks also to Cyndy for hauling these shirts back and forth to rehearsals to get them all given out. We’ll debut our shirts on Greg Gent workshop day, Monday, December 8. Details for the workshop will go out later this week to those of you who have signed up. If you haven’t signed up but would like to, please contact Susan C at to let her know you’d like to be added to the participant list.
We have two performances to prepare for as we finish out 2025. Check the lists below and please let me know if your plans have changed. For both of these performances, we will wear Christmasy attire: dark pants with red/green/glitzy/patterned whatever on top. Final details, including a final playlist will be sent out December 6 for both.

We have lots of music files on both the Ukesters FB page
https://www.facebook.com/groups/theukesters and our website: https://ukesters.net/. On the FB page, you can find pics and videos from the past few years and our music under the “Files” tab. On the website, you can find our music by clicking on the “Music25” tab for the music we’re currently working on.
Please email or text me with any questions or concerns. Hope to see you all Thursday, December 4, at the Guntersville Sr Center for our final rehearsal of 2025!
