WHO WE ARE:
The Blue Notes is a group of women who volunteer
to bring
the joy of music to the community both
as a form of entertainment
and as a form of therapy. The
Blue Notes has been part of
the Darien Community
Association since 2004. We take pride
in providing
high quality entertainment and enjoyment to our
audiences,
who ask us back year after year to sing.
All Blue Notes members are DCA members
and come
from Pound Ridge, Norwalk, Darien, New Canaan, and
Westport. Members of the Blue Notes are devoted
to music,
our audiences and to each other. We all have
the love of song
in common and our days are made happier
when we see the toes tapping and smiles on the faces of our audiences. We sing
in four-part harmony and much of our
music is original arrangements
ofwell-known songs. We are indebted to noted area musician
Ted Simons for many of our musical arrangements. Every year
we take a few new
members; of the 24 women in the group, more than half
have been singing with the Blue Notes for over 10
years.
Why do we keep on doing it? It's fun and rewarding!
OUR AUDIENCES:
The Blue Notes perform primarily for senior groups
in senior
centers, assisted living facilities and nursing/rehab facilities.
We also sing for other community organizations and special
events when requested.
WHEN WE MEET:
Tuesdays from 12:30 to 2:30 during the school
year. Rehearsals are at the Darien Community Association
(DCA). Performance times are generallyon Tuesdays
at lunch
time, but can vary, especially during the Christmas holidays
Please come and join the Blue Notes
family. It is a wonderful
way to have fun, to give back to
your community, enrich
lives and make new friends.

COME SING WITH US!
THE BLUE NOTES
Much is planned for the upcoming year. We will not only be learning new songs to bring to our audiences but will be staging a seasonal show that will include many of the most beloved holiday songs and a few of our other highlighted tunes. Come see us at our best in early December, 2010, as we celebrate the season!
