They will perform at Rodeheaver Auditorium, Winona Lake, Saturday at 7:30 p.m. as part of the Lakeland Community Concert Association's 2008-09 concert series.[[In-content Ad]]According to information provided, the Purduettes "must credit their formation to a brief absence of the Purdue Varsity Glee Club. During World War II, members of the Glee Club were leaving for service so rapidly that the Glee Club schedule had to be curtailed. Al Stewart, the director of PMO, responded by forming an entertainment group of 13 young women who were chosen and organized as the Purduettes in 1942. As in factories across America, the women of Purdue were called upon to do 'a man's job.'"
Today, the Purduettes have more than 40 members and their own identity. They are handpicked for their vocal talents to represent Purdue. The Purduettes travel the country, performing an eclectic repertoire of jazz, country, pop, show tunes, classics and more.
