Ringer Spy GoodProfessorT writes: I am a homeschool student in the PBHA (Poplar Bluff Homeschool Assocation) in Southeast Missouri, and our group of homeschool kids are hardcore Rings fans. During our graduation, we had, of course, a CD of Pomp and Circumstance that we would play as the graduates walked onto the stage to be presented. Well, as the sound man… I opened the CD case during the ceremony and found to my unbelief that the CD was not in there! We had no music! So, in our desperation, one of the former graduates grabbed his violin and played Concerning Hobbits as the graduates recieved their deplomas! I would rather have that for my graduation than Pomp and Circumstance… it was beautiful.

FD writes: The latest Georgia Tech alumni magazine has a feature on a Tech graduate who is a member of Emerald Rose. As TORN’s party is mentioned prominently, I thought you might like to see it. [More]
Gwen writes: The June issue of O Magazine has a spread called Let’s Hear it For the Boys. Viggo Mortensen and Orlando Bloom are both features. Also, on the Oprah website they feature a smaller feature of the same name with both men shown again. [More]

Jessica S writes: I’m in the “music business” in the Philadelphia Area and have a friend in The Philadelphia Singers. (I actually auditioned for the group when I heard what they were planning on performing this summer…don’t know if I made it or not yet…). I don’t think they have begun to advertise this yet, but it is on the website…so I thought I’d send the information along to you…
The Philadelphia Orchestra along with the Philadelphia Singers will be singing “The Lord of the Rings Symphony” at the Mann Center for the Performing Arts on July 13, 2004. But the best part about this (as if it could get better) is that Howard Shore will be conducting the performance! Here’s a link to the “Singers” website for more info…
I’ve been singing all of my life…but to be able to sing in and Elven language would be a dream come true (not to mention be under the baton of the great Howard Shore!) I hope I’m able to be on that stage…but if not…I still wouldn’t miss it!
Your site is fantastic! Thank you for keeping us up to date on all the LOTRs information!!!
