Phil Gold The Perfect Gentlemen [email protected] Back To School Two years ago, one of my quartet mates, Tim Reeder, sug - gested that we audition for the Los Angeles Music Center’s Education Department. He had performed at schools for many years with his vocal jazz group, Vocal Works. So The Perfect Gentlemen, members of the South Bay Coastliners (Hey Hey South Bay!), auditioned for them at an elementary school in Burbank on Halloween We have now performed our show 74 times at 37 differ - morning. During our performance, the school’s power ent schools from Oxnard to San Clemente and from Ranch went out (lights, sound, everything!). As we stood in the Palos Verdes to Riverside. That’s a lot of miles on all of dark in front of 500 elementary students, as tough an our cars! However, in this climate of arts under funding audience as one could already face, we muddled through and under appreciation, we feel a responsibility to help our performance.

  • Annual Report
    2015 ANNUAL REPORT Welcome to Harmony Foundation’s first Harmony Foundation annual report! International In my time as Chair of HFI’s Board of Trustees, I have watched the Foundation grow and evolve into a world-class organization, which excels at bringing the gift of singing to Staff the world. 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. The lifelong friendships, the work ethic instilled in our children, a sense of togetherness — all these elements were cultivated through James Pennington Barbershop. I am sure all of you have similar stories to tell, and I believe Donor Care Center Manager others can benefit as we have.

  • Let Freedom Ring!
    Summer 2010 Let Freedom Ring! Barbershopping in Philly by Craig Rigg [The following report is a personal observation and does not reflect the views of the Society or the Illinois District. With luck we’ll face only a few lawsuits.] There’s this moment in the recent barbershop documentary Amer- ican Harmony. Jeff Oxley looks at a monitor as Vocal Spectrum appears on stage during the 2006 quartet contest, singing “Cruella DeVille.” He turns and shakes his head, saying, “The So- ciety’s changing, man.” His sentiments pretty much sum up what the 2010 International Convention and Con- tests at Philadelphia was all about. There’s been a changing of the guard. First, let's take the quartet contest. By now, everybody knows that Storm Front finally got the gold (after much cajoling and trash talk). They are the first comedy oriented quartet since FRED to achieve the pinnacle of quartetting. There’s no doubt these guys can sing; they’re Singing scores put them in second place, bested only by Old School (with Illinois's own Joe Krones at bass). In fact, Old School led after the semi-finals by only 17 points, and OS had won each of the first two rounds. All they had to do was maintain their lead and the gold was theirs. Not to be (a phrase you'll hear again later.) So what did Storm Front do that made the difference? Well, a combination of factors proba- bly did it. First, SF staged one heck of an innovative final set. Their first song, with a bit of mock- ing of Old School and up-and-coming Ringmasters from Sweden, lamented their struggle to reach the top.

    MINDSET OF A SUCCESSFUL QUARTETTER Barbershop Parts Study - Playlist Observations Click here: "Parts Study" Spotify Playlist Quartet Information & Listen Fors 1) “After Today” - Remake of the Acoustix version (BHS champs early 90’s.) • Attention to coming in and out of unison, solos and vocal gymnastics in all parts. • Smoothness with which parts hand off the melody to one another, beginning with a very melodic bass. • Color of the releases in all singers, along with a very consistent lift that does not sound contrived at all. • Vocal flexibility - These are all gals in their mid to late 50’s…all parts. While you can hear the maturity (and the benefit of having that experience), you can also hear a vibrance that comes only with vocal freedom. 2) “If I Were a Bell” • Flexibility and lightness (an ease with the vocal approach.) • Strong sprinkle of personality and FUN in it. • Notice the smoothness of the tenor and how she “tucks into” the chords and how she takes on the solo part more like a lead rather than an ensemble (as they all do in this quartet), which are very tightly voiced (notes close together to each other) • The chromatics around 1:40 are accurate and balanced well through all voice parts. The Buzz The • Again, the handoff of parts in shared melody is seamless. They ring, they buzz, hence their name. Listen for SAI Queens the chords to sound rich and full. Conventions in barbershop like bell chords, lead-ins, echoes, etc. are handled with aplomb and consistency. 3) “Back in Business” • This quartet is well-versed in all aspects of our craft.
