The Week In Review By Ford Fuller, Daily Bulletin Reporter From the first hello, to the last good-bye, Barbershoppers, family, friends, groupies and community came together some 7,000-strong for a week filled with song, and indeed left Nashville—and the world—a better place, singing! For some, the week began Sunday night with Barberroo, A Really Awesome Barbershop Show emceed by Lunch Break that featured international medal quartets Lemon Squeezy, Stockholm Syndrome, Ringmasters, Blindside, and 2015 International Champs Instant Classic, plus Australia (BHAC) Chorus Champions Vocal Evolution and of course host Music City Chorus. For most others, the convention started with Tuesday’s Harmony Foundation International Youth Barbershop Quartet Contest (YBQC), won by Pratt Street Power (MAD), a 90-day wonder quartet of music education collegians, mostly self-taught but with last- minute help from several renowned coaches, who bested 29 other quartets for the gold. With the youth contest open for the first time to high and middle school quartets, this year’s contest was breath-taking, to say the least! And so it went for the entire convention that on Friday crowned Ambassadors of Harmony (CSD) 2016 International Chorus Cham- pions, and on Saturday Forefront (CAR) 2016 International Quartet Champions. If you missed Nashville, you missed another in a recent string of fabulous International Conventions! Among the many highlights were: Tag Zones everywhere, led by experienced TagMasters, and a special Youth Tag Room; International release of two brand-new Songbooks with Learning Tracks: Nashville Barbershop Style and Yuletide Favorites Vol. II; Over 100 outstanding Harmony University classes all week long, neatly sandwiched among the competitions; The Wednesday night Dixieland All Stars jazz band—Nashville Style—with a dozen Barbershoppers playing to a packed house at the Renaissance Bridge Bar; Quartet and Chorus master classes galore, along with many open rehearsals, windows on how the international competitors do it; The Gospel Sing, returning after a one-year hiatus, led by the Fairfield Four and the Benson Family Singers, with packed pews approaching 500; The World Harmony Jamboree, in support of Barbershop Harmony, again with a full house, featuring Barbershop groups from all over the world, including Double Date (2016 Int’l Mixed Quartet Champs), Reckless (BABS Quartet), Take Four (BinG! Quartet), Speed of Sound (SAI 2016 Quartet Champs), Vocal Evolution (BHA Chorus Champs), and more; The most awesome Association of International Champions (AIC) Show you will ever see, Pitch Perfected: An Evening of Vocal Harmony, repeated this year on two successive evenings to accommodate near-sellout crowds; The Public Relations Officers and Bulleting Editors (PROBE) annual meeting, the Society’s organizational umbrella for all internal and external communications; Sold-out Sing with the Champs, moved successfully to Friday night, raising funds for Harmony Foundation International, featur- ing Gold Medal Quartets: The Ritz (1992), Power Play (2003), Vocal Spectrum (2006), Crossroads (2010), Storm Front (2011), Ringmasters (2013), Masterpiece (2014) and Instant Classic (2015); An afternoon of A Better World Singing performances on the outdoor stage, including the hot Mega Sing, all in Walk of Fame Park; The Saturday Night Spectacular, emceed by ACDA Executive Director Dr. Tim Sharp and A Cappella Godfather Deke Sharon, featuring a string of top-notch entertainment, including Great Northern Union, Heavy Medal Chorus (BinG!) , the middle- school Wildcat Harmonizers, The Fairfield Four and Crossroads, and showcasing newly-crowned 2016 International Barbershop Youth Quartet champs, Pratt Street Power; Ceremonies celebrating anniversaries of International Quartet Champions The Ritz (25th) and The Auto Towners (50th); Naming of legendary gospel quartet The Fairfield Four as BHS Honorary Life Members; Recognition of BHS Hall of Fame Class of 2016 inductees: John Douglas Miller, who with his wife Sharon have become lead donors and active advocates for the Harmony Foundation; and The Four Renegades, International Quartet Champions (1965), truly among the greatest of BHS quartet champions; Another terrific Webcast team and production crew led by hosts Debbie Cleveland, Alex Morris and Matt Gifford who reported on all the competition events for worldwide viewing via the Internet; Introduction of Barbers-Hop, a Belgium pale ale brewed especially for the Convention by Nashville’s own Rock Bottom Brewery; Guided Tours of the Society’s Nashville Headquarters; A constant stream of Twitter-Tagging messages and photos, providing up-to-the-second audience feedback and reactions to anything and everything happening during convention; Tagging. Singing. Hanging Out with our Harmony Brothers and Sisters. And much, much more! Yes, the 2016 Nashville International Convention was all about reaching out to our communities all over the world, getting people everywhere singing, and keeping the whole world singing. We left our mark on Nashville, leaving it—and the world—a better place. Singing! Nashville 2016. A Better World. Singing. .

  • 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.

    ~ The 79th Annual Barbershop Harmony Society’s International Convention ~ 2017 DAILY BULLETIN DESERTDESERT NEWSNEWS Friday July 14th 8 POST CONVENTION 2017 8 Last Minute Articles & Photos From the 2017 BHS Convention in Las Vegas, NV July 3 - 9 Society Honors Grand Central Red Caps Takes Two Steps to Correct Wrong (submitted by Ford Fuller) Grand Central Red Caps Quartet Honored at Saturday Night Spectacular The theme of this year’s Saturday Night Spectacular was “Together, We Sing” featuring the Ambassadors of Harmony & The Vocal Majority mega-chorus, along with quartets Vocal Spectrum and Crossroads. It was an awesome show! This evening’s program is about how our music brings us together. While we cannot erase the errors of the past, we do want to affirm, here and now, that our music is for all, regardless of race, creed or color. We celebrate the spread of our special kind of harmony to more di- verse groups of people, here in America, and throughout the worldwide community, bringing together young and old, rich and poor, black and white. But, perhaps the most poignant moment was a long-overdue correction of a horrible decision made by our Society in 1941. The story be- gins in 1940 when the National SPEBSQSA Convention was held in New York City at which time our society learned of a city-wide Bar- bershop Quartet Competition sponsored by the NYC Parks Department, that actually began in 1935. SPEBSQSA officers decided to invite the winner to the following year’s convention to be held in St. Louis. When the 1941 winner was determined, a telegram was sent to SPEBSQSA letting them know the winner.
