What songs are in 2011A?

I Believe in Music

Specifically arranged by Joe Liles as a theme song for incoming Society President, Alan Lamson, this piece is designed for any show.

 Harmony Rag

This is a sure barbershop classic with a fun, bouncy rhythm to it, reminiscent of the rags from the turn of the century.

It's Only a Paper Moon

This arrangement by Clay Hine and recorded by Platinum has great energy and a loud, gut buster tag to it.

This is All I Ask

A vintage barbershop selection, this piece arranged by barbershop great Buzz Haeger is a moving, heartfelt ballad.

You're Sixteen, You're Beautiful, and You're Mine

A driving uptempo from gold medalists OC Times, this arrangement brings a youthful excitement to barbershop audiences.

Yes Indeed

For the Afterglow series comes this spiritual from the pen of Earl Moon.  This song from yesteryear is sure to be a hit gospel chart.

All you have to do is write the winning creative paragraph using all of the song titles of the Music Premiere 2011A Series:

I Believe in Music; Harmony Rag; It's Only a Paper Moon; This Is All I Ask; You're Sixteen; You're Beautiful, and You're Mine; Yes Indeed.

Your paragraph must use correct grammar, use no more than 60 additional words, and you must use the song titles exactly as written; no alterations allowed. You can make it funny, romantic, inspirational --whatever direction you want to go. Just let your imagination take over!

Sample using the titles of the 2010B Series:

"I'm Gonna Sit Right Down and Write Myself a Letter, but if I can't find a pen Among My Souvenirs, I'll just Have a Little Talk With Myself,because I Don't Know Why I can't keep a pen handy. Wish I could Bring Back Those Good Old Days when I was more organized. Oh well, at least I can still remember Who Put the Bomp (in the Bomp Ba Bomp Ba Bomp)!"
