DESCRIPTION

The Frustrated Maestros Northeast - Yankee Doodle Dandies (YDD's for short) are a group of FMCA members who love to make music and entertain our fellow rally-goers. We play and sing during the morning coffee hour and at various other venues at area rallies and FMCA conventions. Our performers range from "shower singers" to retired band directors and symphony orchestra players. Although some of our members are former professionals, we are NOT a "professional" group. There's no audition! Our chief aim is to have fun with our music, and draw our audience into our enjoyment of what we are doing. Besides the main band and chorus, there are performance opportunities in other groups, such as the Jazz Band and the Dixieland Band. There are also solo and small group opportunities for both instrumentalists and vocalists. Do you have a musical instrument packed away at home or in the coach? Do you like to sing at church or in the shower? Have you performed musically with local theater groups? If so, please come and chat with one of us at our next rally. We are easily recognizable in our red and whites! YDD's who spend the winter in Florida are always encouraged to participate in the Brooksville rally in February, and in the Perry, GA, convention as well, during the years that it is held. If cross-country travel should be in your plans for the coming year, keep in mind that YDD members are always welcome to participate with any of the other Maestro chapters in their area rallies. Dig that high school band instrument out of the closet, pull the keyboard, the guitar, or the banjo out of the coach storage bay, warm up those vocal cords, and COME JOIN US!
