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.
Click HERE for more information on YEP, or contact Montana Jack Fitzpatrick by EMAIL or 406-777-0759.

Preview exciting newly-published arrangements for your chorus or quartet with the new Music Premiere 2010-B, now available at Harmony Marketplace. The packet contains six individual singable songs representing a nice diversity (most are contestable), plus a demo CD with a full quartet performance of each song. Learning CDs are available containing each of the four parts for these arrangements, and can be purchased separately.
This week's feature songs:
Among My Souvenirs
A beautiful ballad arranged by the BHS, this is a slow, poignant piece that is sure to fill a nice little niche in your repertoire.
Bring Back Those Good Old Days
A classic Boston Common tune, this up-beat arrangement is sure to get your feet tapping. Like many songs sung by the Common, its easy range makes it ideal for virtually any ensemble.
Also included in the 2010-B Premiere Series:
I Don't Know Why
I'm Gonna Sit Right Down and Write Myself a Letter
Who Put the Bomp (in the Bomp Ba Bomp Ba Bomp)?
Have a Little Talk With Myself

A Friendly Reminder from the
Music Library and Licensing Coordinator
Please submit any new arrangement clearance requests for your Holiday Shows ASAP to ensure that permission will be in place in time for the season. Click HERE to access the Arrangement and Reproduction Permission form. It can take 30-60 days to clear permission, and perhaps longer if it involves medleys. Don't incur a $50 charge for last-minute requests!
Thanks!
