,\fayIJllllc 2003 • The HARMONIZER 1 LET'S HARMONIZE What about just having some fun? t's sllch a simple word. Three little letters that spell the difference between a successful event and, wcll, something less. Since coming to Kenosha, I've been lucky to be part of an active quartet (Harmony is the 2001 Senior Champ), but because of the nature of the executive director's job, I've not been part of a local chapter or challis. I miss the hannony, the fun and the fellowship I had with the boys back home in the Canton (Ohio) Chapter. Sometimes we had more (un than others. I can remember going home after a chapter meeting only to lie in bed with my eyes wide open, reliving the best parts of the evening. hll)' best memories of a great meeting would always include lots of laughs, lots of good and varied chorus singing, my voice being part of a quartet experience sometime during the evening and a chance to share and relish the many rich friendships within the chapter. I sometimes measured my personal fun by whether or not I came away from a chapter meeting as a better singer/performer. And before I drifted off, I always thought about my enthusiastic commitment for the next Wednesday night and my wcekly dosc of fim and fellowship. I just wrote a note to an old AHSOW chum of mine who is ailing. I caught myself saying, "It doesn't seem like we're having as much fun in barbershopping as we used to." Thank goodness a big majority of letters, e,mails and calls I get here at Harmony Hall are positive, but some get right at the heart of the matter. Here are some of the thoughts I've heard or read regarding having fun. Fat Tuesday. "Any month with five Tuesdays is celebrated by dcvoting the fifth Tuesday night to quartet singing only. There are five such months this year. You can bet I won't miss a one. This is great fun and really breaks up the normal routine of always getting ready for something. This is our second year, and we've already had one extra quartet form and register as a result." To the contrary. Quoting a chapter officer: "How can we afford the time to take a rehearsal night to go to chapter X's com roast? We are way behind, and the contest is right around the C0I11er." YMIH fun. liThe most fun we have had at our chapter for years was last week, when quartets from two of the high schools in our county showed up at our meeting. It's been a lot of hard work developing this relationship, but the payoff is huge. How tim and gratifying to see these kids (our future) loving our harmony and gctting to be a small part of the grown-up world. Thcy had more fun than we did and so did the teacher that came along." In the good old summer time. "Hi 10,' can you recommend a good comedy song for our informal quartet! \lie are planning for our chapter's annllal 'funnybone' quar~ tet contest. It is always part of our picnic in August and is one of the high points of our year." The way we were. "Do you remember back in the '80s, when we did the divi~ sional Harmony Foundation spectacular shows and had chonlses of more than 200 guys from about nine different chapters! Joe Liles came and directed. Now, that was fun ... to say nothing of the money we raised, or the flln we had with our neighboring Barbershoppers." It's a UQ" thing. III wish we'd spend some time on the Barberpole Cat songs. Our new guys just don't know them at all ... or maybe just a tag quartet to break up the monotony of two or three hours on the risers." Murphy's first law of success says you gotta show up. ",\Iie don't go to contest anymore. It's not like it used to be when everybody went, wives and all, and we cared a lot more about our hospitality room and afterglow party than we did about how we placed in the competition.1I Learned this at COTS. "We decided to kcep a Program VP even though it's not mandatolY· Why! He is the guy dKlt always organizes quartetting or some tags or shows a contest video. Wonder why e\fcry chapter doesn't have a Program VP these days! \Y/e found by experience that having fun doesn't just happen. 'Vie have to think about fun and plan time and effort for it."

May/J/Ille 2003 • The HARt'vlONIZER 3 THE PRESIDENT'S PAGE Roger Lewis, SPEBSQSA President Join the Society for only $107 Get 18 months membership for one year's dues? It's called EasyDues
e can sign tip brand~ncw members for only $10, ri nd in the process, they'll ge t 18 months of membcr~ ship fo r the cost of just one year's clues. Here's how: 1. The new member pays the $10 ad ministration fee. 2. He signs lip to have his first year's clues deducted from his checking or credit cmel account. 3. He immediately becomes a member, ge ts his carcl and new member kit. 4. Each month for the next fi ve months, one-fifth (20 percent) of his annual dues (including chap ter, district and Society dues) are charged to his credit card/checking account. 5. By the end of six months, he has paid a full year's dues, and he now gets a new men1bcrship card, good for one yea r. 6. Each month for the next 12 months. one .. twelfth of his second year's dues are automaticall y de .. dueted from the same account, 7. At the end of that year, his dues are pedd for the fo llowing year, he gets a new membership card, and the process continues. No big outlay of cash. No dues statement at the end of the year. Not pain~ less, but the EasyDues way to do it-and the best bargain in the Society. Even a dues increase of$5 for example, only adds 42 cents to his monthly charge. Certainly a better perspecti ve than having to deal with rising chapter, district and Society dues, isn't it? \Va n't this make it easier when you talk to a prospect about becoming a member? It takes the money/cost right out of the discussion. The only r equ ire~ ment is that he has a credit card or check ing account.
What about current members who get a bill for dues every year? EasyDues works for eve I1'one. O nce you pay your annual dues, you can sign up for Easy Dues deductions from your checking or credit card account, and never again have to wr ite a check for the total amount at the end of the year. Because this is a "payment in advcmce" program, you must begin next year when you've already paid for the Cllrrent year. Remember UPay as you go, J oe"~ This operates on the same basic principle, but without paying your pay~as~you ~go chairman (when yotl could remember itL and he doesn't have to keep records or send in payments. The Society Board recently Illet for a l o n g~range planning sess ion, and we hope to make the EasyOues program the major method of dues payment for all members in the future. Naturally! this is based on the need to have a credit card or checking account! and it is a voluntary program. It sure takes the hurt a li t of paying dues. The wives of some of my barbershop friends are in Sweet Adelines! and one of them mentioned that her dues were $30 per month, and that may not even include the Sweet Adeline international and regional dues, which would acid about another $100. Can you imagine how many members they'd lose if they sent a single bi ll each year for $450! The concept works. Let's make it easy for our guests to join us in this g~ r~r~ r~ea t hobby. Just sign them up for EasyDues. More infonnation is avail able at H'JIIH'. spebsqsa.oJ'g > Rlill Your Chapter > 111embership > easydlfes. Singing is Life ... the rest is just details,

Jay Krumbholz Director, Chordbuster Chorus (Davenport, Iowa) Harmony College music theory instructor Analyze your way to better interpretation arbershoppers concentrate primarily on a song's lyrics to guide them in making pctformance deci~ sians. However, many of liS are unaware that a song also has a musical form, independent of its text. You will interpret and petform songs better when you understand how each song is put to~ gether and how its form works with the lyrics. The basic l1lusicalunit in popular songs, especially those that Barbershoppcrs sing, is the phrase-almost always fOllr or eight measures long. Our ears are so accustomed to these four, ancl eight,bar phrases that hearing a phrase of five or nine measures makes many of us uneasy. These (Olll" or eighHneasure phrases are cOInbined to form larger sections, including: • Introductions of 4 or 8 Illeasures • Song verses of 12 or (usualiy) 16 measures • Rdrains or choruses of 16 or 32 measures The study how songwriters combine phrases is a topic worthy of more analysis than space ai, lows here. The point here is that Barbershoppers need to understand not only how musical phrases combine to fOlll1 larger structures, but also how the phrases relate to one another. Con, siclcr, for example the refrain o("My Wilcllrish Rose": Phrase A fb I, V J I F' IF r F' IF r I r F I .J J I ,EiLl J J I M)' wild fi sh Rose, the sweet-est fl ow'r tha t grows. ___ YOII may Phrase B 1)b" J J JI .J J I J J J I .J n I j.

(Incidentally, the pick,up note at the beginning does not count as a measure.) The lyrics support eight measures (rather than (our) as the phrase length. Sing through it to YOlIl>elf ancl sec. Use the following analysis of the song structure as an example o( what you may look (or when getting ready to inte'1)ret other songs.

In addition • to increased focus on grant-seeking from local granting-making organizations, additional opportunities must be provided for the Barbershop Harmony Society members and friends to get more involved in Harmony Foundation. These pages give a summary of some of the fund-raising activity in local Chapters. District Harmony Foundation Chairs are listed with funds raised for Harmony Foundation and per member gift averages. Also indicated are average gift and dollars raised by the Barbershop Harmony Society chapters for donation to local charities. Finally noted are the combined pCI' member gift averages. Harmony Foundation awards are a small recognition of those who make their voice of charity heard through financial giving.
