Work in progress. Information is being collected on Burrell's historical pageants and other published works.

You have enough to prevent speedy, though probably not yet enough to show notability. What you will need is full demonstration of third party refs to the pageants. His Fraternity career is not likely to be considered encyclopedic. DGG (talk) 16:04, 11 September 2007 (UTC

Where as I agree with the search for more information regarding the pageants, indeed this is the main point of my post, I would like to say that under estimating and under reporting Mr. Burrells fraternal path would be like reporting on George Washington and not mentioning anything about the American Revolution. His influence and words live on int he hearts of thousands upon thousands of Sinfonians across the nation and into our past.

My main concern is with the aforementioned pageants. I believe that there must be recordings of some of this work, sound recordings on wax cylinders perhaps? I have heard that Mr. Burrell was performer as well as a writer and I wish specifically to find recordings of him performing. If anyone knows where I could find more information in this field please do contact me. Even if you do not read this message until 2050 try to find.
