Holiday tour help

We’re looking for liaisons to help in monitoring our publicity efforts in some of our holiday tour cities. These persons would provide up-to-date information regarding our publicity efforts for our holiday shows. This will include checking on posters, listening for radio ads and interviews, watching for t.v. ads, looking for newspaper ads and write-ups, etc. We’d need you to check in at scheduled intervals with our tour manager, which will correspond with scheduled publicity efforts, etc.

If this sounds like something you’d be interested in helping out with, please sign up for our street team, and complete the order associated with the city of your choice (to receive proper recognition), or contact us via info@tonicsofa.com

Tell Ellen about Tonic Sol-fa!

Many of you asked who you could write to help Tonic Sol-fa get noticed by some of the talk-show celebrities. Here’s your perfect opportunity to tell Ellen about TSF! Go to her page promoting her new record label called eleveneleven. Fill out the form, using our promo video on YouTube, located at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jHgXJe1feZo . Then write a short, flattering story about why you think she should consider us. There’s even a link from Ellen’s page for you to pass it on to your friends, to get their help as well. Let’s give this a shot and see if we can get Ellen tuned in to Tonic Sol-fa. Thanks for your help!

 

Thanks for supporting our Kickstarter project!

As you know, we’ve had a successful pledge drive through Kickstarter to raise the resources necessary to complete our new holiday t.v. project.  We want to take a moment to thank a number of our backers, and although Greg wanted to shout their names from the mountaintops, as per our incentive description we’re relegated to printing them on our website, Facebook, and Twitter.  Please note that the following list does not contain every person who graciously pledged to our project.  Also, remember this holiday season when you see our t.v. special, that it wouldn’t have happened without these generous individuals (So give them a little pat on the back the next time you see them). Without further ado, a big thanks goes out to the following person, persons, or groups of people:

Our iphone app is repaired and updated! Check it out now.

 

Our goal reached!

We’re excited to announce that we’ve reached the goal for our t.v. project! There are still 21 days left to pledge, and we’ll continue to accept any pledge amounts during that time. Rest assured that we’ll award appropriate incentives accordingly for any subsequent pledges, and that additional funds will be used toward making the t.v. project even better.

 

Project funding update

Our Kickstarter project funding is on the home stretch! We only need to raise $634 more in the final 31 days to complete the project. Consider pledging $1 to help finish this aspect of the project. Maybe you’re worried we might raise more than the required funds necessary. Let us assure you, if that were the case we will continue to honor the supplementary pledges with the appropriate incentive packages, and will apply the additional funds to the project making it even better.
