Planning for the 2012 Hall of Fame
Induction Ceremony has begun! If you wish to be considered
for induction, or if you know of someone we should consider, now is
the time to submit a questionnaire!
Even though the 2012 Induction
Ceremony is a few months away, we need to select the induction class
well beforehand. It takes time to research and verify
all of the information on questionnaires we receive, so don't delay
in submitting them. See the Induction Into The
Hall page for instructions and a copy of the questionnaire, or call John Beeson at the Music Shoppe at 812-232-4095
or Rick Waggoner at 812-243-4144 to get a printed copy of the
questionnaire.
If we don't receive your questionnaire in time for this induction
class, don't worry. Your questionnaire will be kept and
considered for future induction classes.
We look forward to hearing from you!

The fourth annual
Wabash Valley Musicians Hall of Fame Picnic and Jam is history!
For the first time, the Hall of Fame partnered with the Masonic
lodges for a picnic on Shrine Hill. Also for the first time,
we had to deal with a rainy day! Unfortunately, the weather
put a damper on the car show, but there are nice inside
facilities on Shrine Hill, and we were able to move the music
inside. While our attendance was down slightly (undoubtedly
due to the weather),
there was still a good turnout, and those who came were treated to
good food and beverages, and lots of great music. Be sure to
visit the Photo Galleries page and click on the link to the 2011
Picnic pictures.

The Hall of Fame is looking for
more questionnaires! Even though the 2012 Induction
Ceremony is many months away, it takes time to research and verify
all of the information on questionnaires we receive, and the process
will be starting soon.
We know that there are many qualified musicians out there who have
not yet sent us a questionnaire. If you are one of these
musicians, please take a few minutes and send us your questionnaire.
If you are not one of these musicians, but you know one, please send
us a questionnaire on their behalf. See the Induction Into The
Hall page for instructions and a copy of the questionnaire.
We look forward to hearing from you!

The 2011 induction ceremony is in
the books!
And what a party! All of our induction ceremonies have been
memorable events, but this was one of the best! For the first
time, we had a couple of bands
open the ceremony, and what a great job they did! The audience
was one of the largest we've ever had, and they were not
disappointed. Immediately following the ceremony, the
inductees took the stage and put on one of the best shows ever.
Dozens of people went home with raffle and silent auction items,
including two guitars, a keyboard and an amplifier.
Be sure to check out the photos from the induction ceremony in the Photo
Galleries section.

Welcome to our new web site!
As the Hall of Fame has grown, we found that getting the old web
site to grow with it was a challenge. The old site just was
not designed to handle that much growth. We have rewritten the
web site to better organize the content and allow for future growth.
Please take the time to explore our new web site and see the
changes, as well as some new pages.
This web site will adjust itself to any monitor size, but is best
viewed on the newer widescreen monitors (16:9). On older
standard size monitors (4:3), some screens may be compressed or
will require scrolling right to see the entire screen.

The 2011 induction ceremony is
scheduled for Sunday, February 13, 2011 at the Terre Haute V.F.W. Post 972,
located just north of Wabash Avenue on 12th Street.
As always, there will be food, live music, raffles, door prizes,
50/50 drawings and items for sale. Food service will start at noon and the festivities will last until
at least 6:00 p.m. If we still have an adequate audience and
there are musicians wanting to play, we will go longer.
A note to our fellow musicians: Please
remember that the jam session is for the inductees first.
However, supporting musicians will be needed, and once all inductees
have been given a chance to perform, the stage will be opened to all
musicians.
Tickets are $10 per person, which includes your meal.
They can be purchased from Hall of Fame Board
members or at The Music Shoppe, Rick Waggoner's State Farm Insurance, The Conservatory of Music,
or the V.F.W.
If you are unable to locate tickets, call or email us for
assistance. Tickets are limited, so be sure to get yours
early. Don't miss out on one of the best parties of the year!!
