Although we do not have a "theme" or a show title, we are already working on many of the songs which will be used on our 2007 Annual Spring Show. Several of these will need to be memorized by November this year, as we plan in introduce some of the choreography then. We heard from so many of you that you appreciated knowing and learning the songs "early in the game". We can do that for you again this year. The songs which will be used that we are already rehearsing include: Hey, Look Me Over, Heart, Everything Old Is New Again, Do You Hear The People Sing, and Friends. There are several more, however, which will be introduced in the next few weeks. We have had remarkable attendance this summer, but still are only at about 65% strength. Hopefully in the coming weeks we can be back at full strength and begin working on the songs in earnest. We are going to try to get learning tapes out to everyone who wants them much sooner this year as well. Perhaps by the end of September. This should help many of you. See you next Thursday!

But wait, I forgot! There's our fall membership recruitment planned for October 19th (and any other chapter meeting), our annual meeting on September 28th, riser work starting in November, Christmas Caroling and Installation banquet in December, and Singing Valentines coming in early February before we get to final preparations for the show. It's very obvious that we need your participation and help to make all these events successful. So consider the vacation over! There is much to be done, and many are needed to carry on the wonderful events and traditions we have. Join us in every event that you can to make your own barbershop experience a truly great one. You'll be glad you did! Bob Swenson President ♪ |
