• This is an opportunity to enjoy four great theatre organs in a fun and relaxed environment. Meet your friends and make new ones!
• Each instrument will be demonstrated, and attendees will have a chance to play before moving on to the next venue.
• Visit nearby Daniels Recital Hall (formerly First United Methodist Church) and hear the 3-manual Austin organ, Opus 2479. It contains over 4,000 pipes, some dating back to 1908 when the church was
built. The building and voicing of this organ especially for the space make it one of the finest pipe organs built in the American Classic style.
For the ATOS Convention, a 4/40 Artisan digital organ, appropriate for theatre organ repertoire, will also be installed under the supervision of Artist-in-Residence Mark Andersen. For more information, visit www.recitalhall.fifthandcolumbia.com/

• The Kenyon Hall Wurlitzer was originally installed in 1929 at the First Reformed Church in Pella, Iowa. The instrument was removed by the Wicks Organ Company when a new instrument was sold to the church. Don Born of Norridge, Illinois acquired the organ in 1958 and installed it in his home. In 1970, the organ moved again, this time to the Pam Martz residence in Antioch, Illinois. In 1998-99, the organ was advertised for sale in Theatre Organ magazine, and Hokum Hall (now renamed Kenyon Hall) purchased the instrument in 1999. The original church-style horseshoe console was not used. Another two-manual console, previously owned by Fr. Terrence Wager of St. Columban in Yelm, Washington, is currently connected.
The instrument has undergone additional expansion with the antiphonal ranks in the rear of the facility, and now has 17 ranks. It is quite a sound for the building and we are fortunate to have the benefit of Bob White and Greg Smith as a work team for this expansion. For more information, visit www.kenyonhall.org .

• The Haller Lake Community Club organ is owned by PSTOS and serves as the chapter instrument.
Originally a Style D Wurlitzer with player, Opus 1432, it was shipped from the factory in July, 1926. It was first installed at HLCC in 1969. Today it consists of a three-manual Marr & Colton console, a Kimball kinura, and seven ranks of Wurlitzer pipework, as well as chimes and a Chrysoglot.

• The Evans' Wurlitzer originated with a Style B Wurlitzer from the Anacortes, WA Empire Theatre. The original two-manual console was completely restored by Russ but was sold when a
three-manual console originally from Cleveland's State Theatre was acquired.
