Four quartet champions won a cameo spot on the trailer for CBS's remake of "Hawaii 5-0". Click "Hawaii 5-0" to view. Their segment is very brief, and appears right after the Chicago saxophone player. You'll see the St. Louis arch in the background.
From left to right, Rich Knight (Gas House Gang), Eric Dalbey (Vocal Spectrum), Brandon Guyton (Crossroads) and Jonny Moroni (Vocal Spectrum). All are members of the Ambassadors of Harmony chorus.
Thanks guys for doing such a great job and for making your Barbershop fans proud!

How Can You Help Introduce
Barbershop to a Whole
New Generation?
The answer is "YEP"! Could you invest a little time to positively influence a whole new generation of young singers? With schools back in session, the time is ripe for getting into the Youth Enrichment Program (YEP). The goal of YEP is for barbershoppers to develop relationships with their local music educators by volunteering their services wherever needed. By showing your interest, you will encourage the students to become life-long singers. You may be shining tubas or filing music, but as you get to know them better, the opportunity to share our art form will come naturally. And, you will enjoy the personal satisfaction of being an inspiration to young lives.

It takes a brave man to propose marriage on Friday the 13th, but long-time barbershopper Sam Sloane called in a little Irish luck (and a little barbershop magic) when he proposed in a Dublin, Ireland pub Friday, August 13th. Sam arranged for his best friend Jim O'Neill (VP Music and Performance for the ONT district) to fly to Dublin and work with a barbershop quartet to sing "Grow Old With Me" (View HERE) to his sweetheart, Sherry Flippance. Of course, she said "YES!!
Sam was founder of both the Newmarket and Hamilton chapters in ONT District. Members of the quartet are (left to right) Gunnar Karlsson, Sam, David Pendergast and Dan O'Regan.
Congratulations Sam and Sherry! |
