    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.

  • Bulletin #36, April 6, 2004 Coach - Don Bazely Director - Jim Troeger Spring Training Singing Retreat Assoc
    Mark Buchinger, Manager of the Ralph A. MacMullan Conference Center has already penciled us in for next year on Apr 1,2,3, 2005. Don Bazely wrote Pete: “I have to say that seldom, if ever, have I enjoyed a coaching assignment so much as I did this past weekend at Roscommon. The chorus members were attentive and showed their eagerness to learn (or re-learn) the finer points of barbershop singing. I do hope I was able to motivate the troops to try harder and sing better. I do regret that I was unable to pass on all the material I had planned but time just didn't allow. A great deal of credit must go to you and your board for the leadership displayed in getting so many of your guys to the retreat. Finally, I must say I was overwhelmed by the generosity shown me by the board. Thank you, and I'll certainly be rooting for Pontiac at Gaylord.” Don has since written to say he has been asked to M.C. the chorus contest, so he will be unable to come visit the BCC chorus in our warm-up room. “Regardless, I will be rooting for you guys. S T R I V E F O R E X C E L L E N C E .....N O T P E R F E C T I O N.” From the Prez. Thank you, thank you, thank you! To all the BCC members who attended and helped make this year's Singing Retreat a huge success.
