Learning these twelve esatablished tunes is a great way to enrich your barbershop life and makes it possible to sing with all other barbershoppers in the world, any time you happen to run into them. We’re being given the chance to work on these songs, one-at-a-time, starting this week (July 18). You can download the music and learning tracks to any (or all) of them inside the HoH members area. Visit the Repertoire Music Library and select “Barberpole Cats”. Then plan to meet fellow polecat-ers at our rehearsal hall at 6PM on Tuesday for your first dose of this particular kind of barbershop fun. July’s song (first of the 12 polecats we’ll work on) is: MY WILD IRISH ROSE Hoping to see you all at the first polecat session, “Your fellow barberpole cats” ( P.S. Coming in August: DOWN OUR WAY ) A follow up on Christmas in July (from the front page) - Every HoH member who is planning to sing with us on the Christmas risers this year should start reviewing and learning the Christmas songs found within the members area of the Heralds website. Besides the holiday standards, you’ll also find a brand new Christmas song which we will begin working with this coming Tuesday (July 18). (What is it? Top secret… but the title has the word “GRANDMA” in it!)

  • 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.

  • HISTORY of BARBERSHOP Compiled by David Wright
    HISTORY OF BARBERSHOP compiled by David Wright Lesson 8: GUARDIANSHIP Judging reform. The next decade would see a change of judging systems that would slow the evolution of the style, so that change in the this era would be far less profound than in the previous. At the same time, the barbershop sound continued to undergo refinement. A disqualification at International. At the Los Angeles contest a quartet called the Potomachords was disqualified on Arrangement for the song "This Is All I Ask." The implied harmonic content of this song was not considered to be in the barbershop style. Such disqualifications were rare at the time, and the situation was not handled well. The announcement was made from the stage, following their performance: "The Potomochords have been disqualified for a flagrant violation of the barbershop style." Later Arrangement Category Specialist Sam Stahl apologized for this in the Harmonizer. I do not know of any other disqualification at an International Contest. The Executive Committee subsequently recommended to the C & J Committee that henceforth disqualifications should not be announced from stage, but rather, simply be noted on the score sheet. This became the practice, and remains in place today. (In 1993 the term “forfeiture” replaced “disqualification”.) Grundy writes “Each Time I Fall In Love”. At one time, Lyle Pilcher, who was a good friend of S. K. Grundy's, had told the Sundowners to write to Grundy for music. This was at about the time Grundy was moving to California to work for Lawrence Welk, and he never answered. In 1967 at the Los Angeles Convention, Lyle encountered Grundy and jokingly reminded him that he had never responded to the Sundowners' request.

  • Summer/Fall 2011
    Summer — Fall 2011 Jim Kraatz, center, organizes the Quartet Corner while New site for fall Hugo Fuegen (left) voices out a tag convention Illinois District opts for another central Illinois site after severing a third-of-a- century ties with Peoria by Craig Rigg You know how routines are. You get used to doing something twice a year for almost 30 years, and you soon go on automatic pilot. For Illinois barbershoppers, every third weekend in April and in September, they'd climb into their cars and point them toward Peoria. But not this fall. While the direction was still toward the heart of Illinois, barbershoppers this fall headed to the Twin Cities of Bloomington/Normal for the semi-annual convention. The headquarters hotel was at the Double Tree right off I-55. Practically everything was at ground level, which eased those pesky elevator issues. The layout of the hotel complex featured a large commons area, which we barbershoppers pretty much appropriated for the weekend, except for the occasional Pampered Chief, Sensey candle, and thirty-one handbags booths that sprang up on Saturday. There was even room for Bob Squires’s ever-expanding historical displays, which must be a pain to transport. Someone was always browsing the photos and learning a little more about from whence we came. Instead of a convention bureau, registration was handled by Illinois barbershoppers, especially members of the host city Bloomington Cbapter. Missing this season was the Barbershopper's Shoppe. A private company – Gold Medal Ideas had been afforded a nearby room to market their clothing and music (and cat) paraphernalia (www.goldmedalideas.com) but no BHS gear and music was available.
