    Spring 2009 Illinois District Website http://www.illinoisdistrict.org IDAH 2009 ! 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. All IDAH photos, Lunch Break was also part except those as noted, of an all-star team of by Dave Martin coaches who worked with To see the entire quartets and choruses dur- IDAH 2009 photo album, go to http://illinoisdistrict.smugmug.com ing the day.

  • MINDSET of a SUCCESSFUL QUARTETTER Barbershop Parts Study - Playlist Observations
    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.
