Setnor's Saxophone Ensemble to perform on Says You!
The Saxophone Ensemble, directed by Dr. Ronald Caravan, will be the featured musical guest at the November 17th taping of the hit show, Says You! The taping will take place at SU's Hendricks Chapel at 7:00 PM. Says You! is an independently produced show that is carried on many NPR stations. It has a national audience in the millions and is carried in states as far away as Alaska and Hawaii and as close to home as New York. Says You! is a game show that pits three-person teams of editors, producers, writers and TV/radio personalities against one another in a battle of word games, brainteasers and expert bluffing. The Saxophone Ensemble will perform before, during and after the show.
If you would like to learn more about the show, or attend the taping, more information can be found at www.saysyou.net/tapings/. |

She is a featured performer and singer in the film "Pearl", directed by Mary Lambert. The film will be shown at the Sitges Festival International de Cinema Fantastic de Catalonia this October.
