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.

Great Gulf Coast Region 10 Sweet Adelines International Fall 2011 Volume 26 Number 2 Fall 2011 Tune In With Ten Page Melanie Wroe To Headline 2012 Winter Regional Meeting, Jan 20-21 By Ronda Perez, Education Coordinator, Region 10 I hope you are as excited as I am about our Winter Regional Weekend coming up January 20-21, 2012. We are delighted to welcome Melanie Wroe to Region 10 as our guest faculty for the weekend. Melanie is a Certified Showmanship Judge and an International Faculty member. She is currently a member of Pacific Northwest Region #13 and Can-Am Region #16 – City of Lakes Chorus and has been in three internationally acclaimed Choruses and three Regional Champion- ship Quartets. While the January meeting is geared for quartets, there will be something for everyone. If you love to perform for audiences, wouldn’t you like some ideas for improving your performances? Friday night we will have a ―Mock‖ contest where all attending quartets may chose to perform for a panel of Judges and receive score sheets with comments and a level for their performance. While it is preferred that you sing contest music, it is not required. We will ask that you indicate if you are singing ―contest‖ or ―non-contest‖ music so that you can be evaluated accordingly. Comments received can be used by you and your coaches to provide the proper assistance and (Continued on page 8) Oasis Quartet Congratulations to Houston Horizon Chorus, Oasis Quartet and Lucky Day Quartet for representing Region 10 at the 2011 Sweet Adelines International competition in Houston in October. -
