As Bob Lally you’ve no doubt heard by now the premiere edition of this Festival in San Antonio was a huge success with six 1357 School House Road choruses of young men from all around the country plus Santa Barbara, CA 93108 New Zealand taking part, and we look forward to (805) 969-9701 expanding it next January right here in the Far Western E: [email protected] District. With all the talent we have in our District we could probably field six choruses of our own. If you would like to be involved or think there might be a good I hate to hit you with a commercial right away, but group of young men in your area, check the Society web we’re just finishing the season of Divisional Conventions site for all the details, or contact staff member James and contests, and this year I attended all but one so I’m Estes in Nashville.

And, as usual, the Far Western District will be a prominent part of the action with three choruses (including a returning champion) competing, a current Chorus Champion performing their swan song, and (as of this writing) six quartets entered with a possible two more to be added! I know you’re as proud to be a member of this District as I am. Incidentally, the city of Nashville has welcomed the Barbershop Harmony Society to its new home with open arms, and the new headquarters building is stunning, so make your plans now to attend this historic event. I’ve been very excited to learn during the first few months of this year about several chapters with new, youth-oriented events in the wind.

  • 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.

BACK WITH A BANG ! by Bob Squires for the IDAH Team After an absence of a year, IDAH, the Illinois District Academy of Harmony, returned to the Barbershop scene and into the mainstream of district activities once again. Consisting of a slightly revised format, a big move from Peoria to Bloomington and a unique venue, over 150 men were treated to 12 Mike Isely photo hours of being immersed in “Hot Barbershop.” IDAH 2009 was held at the Second Presbyterian Church in Bloom- ington, which is the home to one of our International chorus representatives in Anaheim, the Bloomington Sound of Illinois Chorus. SOI member, Greg Gray was the on-site mastermind whose tireless efforts made the move to Bloomington seamless. Greg’s team of Bloomington members provided as- sistance with transportation, riser hauling and the handling of all of the de- tail work. Designed to be a one-day event, IDAH registrations began early on Saturday morning followed by the day’s first general session of announce- ments, orientation and vocal warm-ups by Society music specialist, Jim De- Busman. Two songs were taught to those assembled by the Lunch Break quar- tet, 13th place semi-finalists in Nashville last year.
