Can you recognize songs? How about on the bells? Plan to play Name That Tower Tune during the Wednesday Tower Tunes Live concerts at the Mahanay Bell Tower. A Mahanay Maestro will play the four-octave carillon from 12:15 – 12:30 pm with songs of their choice.
Each song will be played in its entirety, not just a few notes. There is an official sheet to write the titles of the songs. Participants can be individuals or groups. No cell phones or song identification apps are allowed. At the end of the live concert, the Mahanay Maestro will announce the correct titles to the group. A prize will be awarded.
Mahanay music committee members will assist the participants. They are Nancy Teusch, Janet Durlam, Joann Rasmussen, Ces Brunow, Pat Richards, Don VanGilder, Peg Raney and Bill Monroe.
The Name That Tower Tune event will begin Wednesday, May 29, with Mahanay Maestro Rhena Lane and continue each Wednesday through the end of June. Participants are encouraged to arrive at the Mahanay Bell Tower soon after noon to receive a sheet and instructions prior to the 12:15 pm live concert.
The Bell Tower Foundation encourages people to pick up a to-go lunch at any of the local restaurants and enjoy it on the Bell Tower Plaza during these lunch time events.
