Auditions for Noteworthy Community Choir held soon

Well, yes!  Noteworthy Community Choir has an inter-generational choir (Expressions) that meets Monday evenings from 7:15 - 9:15 p.m.

"We have singers ages 14 through 70+ and have had a wonderful time serving our communities through song," says Vicki Mills of Ada, director.

"New singers are welcome, and the audition is short and sweet, consisting of  singing 30 seconds of your favorite song, and running a few exercises to determine your range and musicianship skills." 

Dr. Cheri Diller, M.D., general practitioner, has joined Bluffton Family Practice and is accepting new patients, according to Dr. Darrel R. Hotmire.

Bluffton Family Practice is located at 582 Harmon Road, Bluffton.

Dr. Diller is seeing all ages of patients from newborns to seniors and both men and women.

The Pandora native has worked in private practice for several years and until recently, she was a private practice staff physician with Bluffton Primary Care.

"I'm the person who actually reads the signs at museums, and, I would grab old textbooks and read them for fun"

Recently the Icon talked with Dan Newkirk, a newcomer to Bluffton. Read his interview here. As promised, here's a chat with his wife, Lauren Logan.

Bluffton HS alumni marching band performs at Harmon Field pre-game

“Approaching from the sidelines is the Bluffton High School alumni marching band!”

Listen for that announcement at Friday’s Harmon Field football pre-game. Then sit back and listen to living musical ghosts of Pirate bands going all the way back to the Jo Souder-era of the early 1960s.

Racheal Lewis, Bluffton schools strings teacher, first invited BHS band alumni to perform as a marching band in 2013. The band, consisting of anyone who once wore a BHS band uniform, performs in a pre-game every other year.
