Change of Tour location: From Madison, WI to Marathon, WI
Due to some problems in the city of Madison, WI, we are no longer touring this city. Instead, we would go to Marathon, WI, which is a few hours north of Madison. We would be singing at the Marathon High School at 7:30 PM on May 4. All other citys remain unaffected.

A listing of the venues for the University of Michigan Men's Glee Club Midwest Tour.
On May the 1st, the Glee Club will roll out of Ann Arbor for the first Midwest
tour since 2001. That tour was fondly remembered by many past clubbers as one
of their favorites during their tenure in club, so I hope that this year venture
will go even better!
The Glee Club is excited to be sharing the stage on this tour with a variety of
other performance groups. We will be starting our tour singing with the Marquette
High School in the stunning St. Peter’s Cathedral in downtown Marquette. Then in
Northfield Minnesota we will be singing with another all men’s ensemble, the Viking
chorus of St. Olaf College. Their director, Chris Aspaas, is a Spartan graduate,
but will still like him. While in Iowa City we will be singing with the choir from
Iowa City West High School at the beautiful “Old Brick?community center. Finally,
when we finish out tour in lovely Louisville, we will share the stage with the Youth
Performing Arts School. This tour looks to be filled with a wide variety of music
and musical styles, so if you are lucky enough to see more than one concert, you
will be treated to a different show each night.
As any large undertaking, tour has required a lot of help from gentlemen in club.
I would like to thank our director, Paul Rardin, for all the hard work he has already
put in on my behalf. I would also like to thank last years tour manager, Ben Saukas,
for without his help this endeavor would never have gotten off the ground. I would
also like to thank Bill Couch for his hard work and my entire staff who helped with
the tour book and program.
As always, the Glee Club could not tour without the support of our many alumni.
If you would be interested in becoming a tour/concert sponsor or if you would be
willing to host a few clubbers while we are in town, then please contact me through
email mrwicker@umich.edu. The Midwest is the home of many clubbers and many of our
wonderful alumni, we look forward to seeing you soon! We hope many of you will join
us on stage and after the concerts for the Tradition, Camaraderie, and Musical
Excellence that is the University of Michigan Men's Glee Club.

2007 Spring Tour Manager
