Quartet Finals 2012 INTERNATIONAL CONVENTION Barbershop Harmony Society 110 7th Avenue N., Nashville, TN 37203 800-876-SING www.barbershop.org 1 NATIONAL ANTHEMS The Star Spangled Banner O, say, can you see, by the dawn’s early light, What so proudly we hailed at the twilight’s last gleaming? Whose broad stripes and bright stars, through the perilous fight, O’er the ramparts we watched, were so gallantly streaming? And the rockets’ red glare, the bombs bursting in air, Gave proof through the night that our flag was still there. O say, does that star-spangled banner yet wave O’er the land of the free and the home of the brave? O Canada! O Canada! Our home and native land! True patriot love in all thy sons command. With glowing hearts we see thee rise, The True North strong and free! From far and wide, O Canada, we stand on guard for thee. God keep our land glorious and free! O Canada, we stand on guard for thee. O Canada, we stand on guard for thee! 2 WELCOME TO THE 2012 INTERNATIONAL CONVENTION Welcome to Portland, Oregon! Thanks for being here for the Barbershop Harmony Society’s 74th In- ternational Convention! 2012 marks 10 years since our last convention in Portland, OR, and if you were here then, you’ll remember what a fantastic week THAT was. The Society even won the Portland Oregon Visitors Association’s “Twin Spires” award for the convention “that had the greatest impact on the city of Portland in 2002.” Let’s do our best to once again show our beautiful host city why barbershoppers are the greatest people around. Conventions are time for people to come together and celebrate what they do on a regular basis, but on a much larger scale. I’d like to be so bold in saying that we barbershoppers take that to the next level…and beyond! We gather each year for many reasons…to catch up with old friends, make new friends, tag into the wee small hours, compete with our chorus or quartet on the “big stage,” share the joy of barbershop singing with the younger generations of singers, take in a show or two (or three or four), visit beautiful cities...the list goes on and on. What ties us all together, however, is the opportunity to combine our voices in song to celebrate and share the gift of barbershop harmony with others. That is why we are here this week! Putting on a convention of this size takes a lot of hard work. I’d be remiss if I didn’t acknowledge those people who made this year’s con- vention possible. So please be sure to thank our Convention Chair- man, Bob Cox, when you see him, for all he’s done with his team of hundreds of volunteers who have worked hard (and will continue to work hard) to prepare for this event. Also thank Dusty Schleier, the Society’s Manager of Meetings and Conventions, for his tireless ef- forts in running the Society’s conventions. Both Bob and Dusty, along with their teams, ensure this convention runs as smoothly as possible so you can just enjoy the ride. Good luck to all of the competitors this week. And if you are watch- ing the contest from your seat, be sure to cheer loudly. Each man has worked hard to put his best performance on the stage to entertain you. Let’s all show them how much we appreciate them. Enjoy your week, and remember to register now for Orlando in Janu- ary and Toronto in July…the two conventions taking place during our 75th Anniversary year in 2013. They will both be a party you’ll never forget! Rick Spencer, Director of Operations/COO 3 ALAN LAMSON’s WELCOME Fellow barbershop singers, The highlight for many of us each year and the culmination (or is it the start?) of each year is our In- ternational Convention. This year we welcome you all to the end of the Oregon Trail. We started this journey last year in Kansas City at the start of the Trail. As al- ways, the chorus and quartet con- tests will be barn burners between groups performing at a very high level of expertise. The shows will pro- vide diversity and a chance to sit back and just enjoy our wonderful hobby. And Portland is a beautiful city with lots of things to do and lots of places to go. Mt. St. Helen’s is a short distance. The Pacific Coast and the Columbia River gorge offer breath-taking views of a magnificent part of our country and our continent. The city’s parks and the rose garden are unsurpassed in their beauty. It is a wonderful opportunity to visit with old friends and make new ones. Take time between sessions to share a meal and a song with someone new. Take time to catch up with each other on news since the last time you met. You have the choice or running yourself ragged for four fun filled days or just savoring all the best the Barbershop can offer. Whatever you do, enjoy the week, make plans to attend the 2013 Midwinter Convention in Orlando and the 2013 International Convention in Toronto, and refresh yourself for another six months or year until we meet again!

Quiet, Please! Quiet must prevail outside the entrance to the arena and in the concourse areas, in fairness to the competing quartets and choruses. Smoking Policy Smoking is prohibited at all times. Admittance to Performance Venue Entry and exit are permitted between contestants during the contest sessions, but please do so quickly and quietly. Contestants will not be introduced while people are moving about the performance venue. No Recordings Copyright law strictly limits the use of audio or video recording during any performance. No audio or video device, whether or not in use, is permitted in the place of performance without permission of the Society. Any person found possessing any such device will be required to leave immediately. The tape, film, or other recording medium will be confis- cated and any unauthorized recordings erased or destroyed. Enforce- ment of the copyright law protects you and us, but most importantly, it protects copyright owners who make our performances possible. Your support and cooperation are appreciated. Sales of Recordings All sales of merchandise or recordings must be through the Harmony Marketplace or official convention vendor. BarberTots Room The BarbersTots Room is available to parents with small children during all contest sessions. Parents must remain with their children at all times. The BarberTots Room for ALL contests is located in the Preferred Din- ing Room (Club Level) of the Rose Garden Arena. Elevator Courtesy Hotel elevators can sometimes stall for lengthy periods due to overload- ing. When you are part of a large crowd of people, all trying to get to different floors of a hotel, the wait for an elevator can be time-consum- ing and frustrating. Waiting patiently for an available car, however, can help prevent elevator failures that delay you and your fellow passengers. Remember, consideration for others is one of the hallmarks of being a Barbershopper. 6 Churches A complete listing may be found in the Yellow Pages, or check with the concierge in each convention hotel.

Perhaps the most important influences on my early thinking about this topic came from Paweł Frelik and Larry McCaffery, with whom I shared a rousing desert hike in the foothills of Borrego Springs. After an evening of food, drink, and lively exchange, I had the long-overdue epiphany to channel my training in musical performance more directly into my academic pursuits. The early support, friendship, and collegiality of these two had a tremendously positive effect on the arc of my scholarship; knowing they believed in the project helped me pencil its first sketchy contours—and ultimately see it through to the end.

  • 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.
