MOUNT DOUG IDOL CONTEST
We're looking for the next Nelly Furtado! The "Next One" may still be singing in the halls of Mt Doug, or left long ago to sing alone in the shower. Or they may be one of your children or grandchildren who can actually sing "Happy Birthday" without melting the candles. It's time for the world to hear the voices - or at least the Mt. Doug world! But first, entries need to be sent in and the time is ticking. Deadline is October 14th - see: Idol Entry Form 2011 on our website for details.

EVENT TICKET SALES
MD Idol LogoTickets for all events running between November 11 - 20th, went on sale last week and are available on our website. Many of these tickets are available to alumni and their guests only - see event details on the website. Keep in mind that some events have very limited seating.

Mt Doug Idol "advance" tickets are still available to "registered alumni" only - limit of four tickets per alumni. But this special offer ends soon.  After that, tickets will be available to all alumni and the general public. Don't be disappointed - order your tickets now!  Your pre-sale access code is "GRAD80".  Follow the instructions on the MD Alumni website to get your tickets directly from the UVic ticket office.

Tickets are available at $200, $100, $75, $50 and $25 based on seating location.  Please note that the $200 tickets include a pre-performance reception with David Foster, and a separate reception ticket will be mailed.

GLORIOUS NOISE
This event promises to be fun for all participants - and hopefully entertaining for the audience! Many alumni have already signed up to play, but there's room for more. Sign up today for this November 11th event and encourage your band classmates to do the same. Admission to the Opening Ceremonies will be free for all musicians!

FASHION SHOW
Want to strut your stuff, shake your booty, or just revel in the spotlight? Models are needed for the show - all shapes, sizes, ages and genders! You'll get to dress like a student of the 80's, or a teacher from the 60's - what did they wear anyways? Find out by volunteering @ 250-704-0680

REMINDER - The Mt Doug 80th Committee needs your stories, photos and memorabilia!

Got an interesting yarn to share for the commemorative book? Have a snapshot from a game which could be displayed at the Sports Social? What about candid photos of you and your classmates to help with the Fashion Show preparations? Are you storing any memorabilia that you can share (we’ll return it!)?

MD IDOL rules are now posted!
Come on you songbirds, or relatives of one. Shake off the cobwebs from that falsetto; let that rapturous soprano voice sparkle. Enter the search for the Mount Doug Idol! And if your own voice has shriveled even as your waistline may have grown, encourage your children or grandchildren to enter. Greatness may be just a CD recording away, or at least an opportunity to sing to the accompaniment of our own great David Foster!

Advance tickets on sale starting Tuesday, September 27th @ 9:30am!
