It’s also a documented fact that more than 70% VP CHAPTER DEVELOPMENT/ of our Society’s members joined from a personal invi- MEMBERSHIP tation from another Barbershopper. All other ways of prospecting, such as ads in newspapers, billboards, mailings and the so-called “cattle calls” from the stage “...the salvation of our Society depends following a show or a performance just have not pro- on our individual recruiting efforts...” duced positive results.

The dedication of the Foundation’s Jim Clark staff and trustees is unparalleled, as is the Regional Director of Development generosity of our donors. We have much to Carolyn Faulkenberry be proud of but much work still to do. Chief Financial Officer This report provides some key facts Connie Harris and figures on the financial health of the Director of Communications Foundation, but we all know that’s only half JJ Hawkins the story. Barbershop is not simply numbers Donor Care Center Associate on a page or trophies on a shelf. It’s a way Photo: J. Demetrie Photography Ryan Killeen of life. It’s a family, and music is what waters Senior Director of Development our family tree. Singing is the lifeblood that flows through us all and binds us together. Hopefully this report tells a bit of that story as well. Sharon Miller Acting President and CEO Each of us has our own reasons for supporting Harmony Foundation International. My family has made Barbershop a lifestyle, and it has been Sarah Ogiba Finance Assistant good to us.

  • Issue of the Harmonizer
    From Director Tom: Men and Friends of the BCC, Thank you for your nice work on our performance at Lockwood. Thanks to 36+ of you for taking the time to come and sing. It does my heart good. I thought we sang well for a very appreciative audience. It was good to have several quartets. Can we have even more than five quartets and maybe some new faces? Thank you also for the nice time at our favorite watering hole. It was nice to be able to eat with you and not have to worry about teaching the next a.m. Let's keep up the good work! From Prez Jack: Our August 21 performance at Bowers’ School Farm was a result of the “Bob Wallace Four” serenading two ladies during the ride in the parking bus from Log Cabin Days. It amazes me how and where the invitations come to sing at the various events that we do. The power of music is amazing. I continue to be impressed by the relaxed manner that the Big Chief Chorus presents itself. You are quite a likeable bunch. Remember that you are a disciplined chorus with all eyes on the director, but being humble enough to mingle with your audience following the performance. Vol. 11, No. 4 (#124) August 1, 2011 AROUND THE PATCH The Big Chief Chorus forewent its practice on Tuesday night, July 12, for an enjoyable performance for forty residents and staff at Lockwood of Summertime is for loafing, right?

  • History of Barbershop
    HISTORY OF BARBERSHOP By David Krause and David Wright Definition of barbershop harmony. Read: Definition of Barbershop Harmony, from the Forward of the Contest and Judging Handbook. The Purpose Of This Course. We will attempt to trace the roots and the evolution of barbershop harmony from well before its actual beginnings up to the present. We will try to answer these questions: What were the tides of history which spawned the birth of the barbershop quartet, and what environment allowed this style of music to flourish? What were its musical forerunners? What are its defining characteristics? What other types of music were fostered contemporaneously, and how did they influence the growth of quartet singing? Which styles are similar, and how are they similar? How did the term "barbershop" arise? How long did the historical era of the barbershop quartet last? What other kinds of music sprang forth from it? Why did the style eventually need preservation? How was SPEBSQSA formed, and how did it become a national movement? What other organizations have joined the cause? How have they coped with the task of preservation? Are current day efforts still on course in preserving the style? How has the style changed since the Society was formed? We will spend the next few hours contemplating and attempting to answer these questions. Overtones. As barbershoppers, we are very conscious of the "ringing" effect which complements our singing. We consider it our reward for singing well- defined pitches in tune. The fact that a tone produced by a voice or an instrument is accompanied by a whole series of pitches in addition to the fundamental one which our ear most easily detects has been known for centuries.

  • Bulletin #36, April 6, 2004 Coach - Don Bazely Director - Jim Troeger Spring Training Singing Retreat Assoc
    Mark Buchinger, Manager of the Ralph A. MacMullan Conference Center has already penciled us in for next year on Apr 1,2,3, 2005. Don Bazely wrote Pete: “I have to say that seldom, if ever, have I enjoyed a coaching assignment so much as I did this past weekend at Roscommon. The chorus members were attentive and showed their eagerness to learn (or re-learn) the finer points of barbershop singing. I do hope I was able to motivate the troops to try harder and sing better. I do regret that I was unable to pass on all the material I had planned but time just didn't allow. A great deal of credit must go to you and your board for the leadership displayed in getting so many of your guys to the retreat. Finally, I must say I was overwhelmed by the generosity shown me by the board. Thank you, and I'll certainly be rooting for Pontiac at Gaylord.” Don has since written to say he has been asked to M.C. the chorus contest, so he will be unable to come visit the BCC chorus in our warm-up room. “Regardless, I will be rooting for you guys. S T R I V E F O R E X C E L L E N C E .....N O T P E R F E C T I O N.” From the Prez. Thank you, thank you, thank you! To all the BCC members who attended and helped make this year's Singing Retreat a huge success.
