Next Meeting - November 8
The next GKRS meeting will be Saturday, November 8, 2025,10:00 am-12 at First Presbyterian Church, 620 State Street in downtown Knoxville. Our meeting room is in the 4th floor Music Suite. Someone will be at the door to let you in. Park free in the church lot. Directions to the church https://www.fpcknox.
For this meeting, we will use a different parking lot and entry door because a church crafts fair overlaps with our meeting time. Our new music director, Scott Scheetz, suggests that everyone park on the lowest level (P1). This is a covered lot off of S. Central Street, and there is an entry door on that level. Just inside the door is the elevator that will take you all the way to the music suite on the 4th floor.
For those who are used to parking in the "usual" lot and need additional instructions:
- from the normal upper lot, exit towards Clinch Ave and turn right onto Clinch Ave.
- Go down the hill and turn right onto S. Central Street
- Take an immediate right into the parking area.
Please let Robin know by early Wednesday, November 5, whether you’re coming. If you are already on the mailing, she needs to know if you need a printed copy of the music. If you're not yet on the mailing list, she needs your contact information in order to send you music files.
It is also important to know who is coming so the person who lets us in can leave the door when the last person on the list has arrived. Please arrive in time to be ready to play at 10:00. Robin's cell is 865-804-5867 if you need to contact us.
We are asking for donations of $15.00 per person per session to pay for professional direction. We never want finances to get in the way of anyone who wants to participate, so we have scholarship money available to cover you if needed. Just let Robin or Pam know.
If you have different sizes/types of instruments, bring them all! Any early instruments are welcome, not just recorders. Thanks to First Presbyterian for providing a free space to meet. Don't forget your music stand and a pencil.
Hope to see you Saturday! Bring your friends!
