2023 Hall of Fame News & Notes

February 6, 2023

Two Hall of Fame events have been scheduled for 2023.

The Hall is restarting the Picnic & Jam, which had been cancelled for a few years due to COVID.  It will be held on May 21 at the Shrine facility on Shrine Hill, where we have traditionally held it.  We would love to have a good turnout for this event, especially musicians!  Only a few get to perform at the Induction Ceremony, but everyone can get a chance to play at the Picnic.

Please Note:  If you are seeking to be inducted into the Hall, you need to attend the Picnic & Jam.  This is a perfect chance to get to know the Board and allow them to get to know you, and to play some music to show why you are a good choice for induction.

The 2023 Induction Ceremony will be held on September 17 at its usual location, the Zorah Shrine in Terre Haute.  While we won't be selecting the inductees until closer to the time of the event, we need your questionnaires now, so that we have time to review them.

More information will be posted here as it becomes available.

We hope to restart the Picnic & Jam this year.  The Hall is looking at the possibility of holding both an Induction Ceremony and a picnic in 2023.  There are a lot of details to be worked out, so a final decision won't be made for a while.

If we are able to hold both events, we are thinking of holding the Picknic & Jam in May and the Induction Ceremony in September.  We will post more information here when it becomres available.

We have added another update.  An updated version of the 2021 Induction Ceremony photo gallery has been uploaded.  Our last update will be the photo gallery for the 2022 Induction Ceremony, which will take some time.

This web site is being updated!  It took quite a while to work out the issues when our web provider upgraded their site, causing many of our web tools to stop working.

We have made changes to the following:
      Updated the list of inductee names.
      Updated the Bylaws page.
      Updated the Commumity Involvement page.
      Updated the FAQ page.
      Updated the Induction Process page.
      Updated the Board of Directors page.
      Updated the News & Notes pages.

The remaining updates will be to the photo galleries.  These updates will take a lot of time, which is why we did the simpler changes first.  We will post updates here as more updates are posted.  Thank you for your patience.  In the meantime, be sure to follow us on our Facebook page.

The Hall of Fame has made a significant change!  It was a hotly debated topic, but the majority of the Board voted to lower our admission standards from 50 years old with 25 years experience to 40 years old with 20 years of experience. There were a number of reasons behind this change, and we will not try to explain all of them here, but the Hall has been facing some challenges due to the Covid pandemic.  It is hoped that this change will bring in members who can address some of these challenges.  The Hall cannot continue to exist without the active support of our members.
