New and Improved!
Sheet Music Library Search
Here's some good news! Now you can search for sheet
music easily and conveniently RIGHT off the FRONT PAGE of the Society's
website! Search by title, or even partial title, or arranger, all from one spot.
Here's how:
On the right side of the front page, look for the
"Search for Sheet Music" box, located just under the black
header box. Just type in the name of the song, or even one word from the song,
click GO, and in a flash, you have the complete list of available arrangements.
Or, type in the arranger and you'll get a complete list of all songs available
by that arranger.
To order your selections, look under "Find
an arrangement you like?" at the bottom, and click the link for
instructions.
How's that for
easy? |

Early Bird Housing Coming Soon
for 2012 Portland, OR
International Convention
Make plans now to attend
the exciting 2012 International Convention in beautiful Portland, Oregon, July 1
- 8, 2012. Early bird housing opens December 15!
There'll be plenty of
drama in the Ringmasters vs. Musical Island
Boys match for the top spot in the quartet competition - but, who knows
what contender might challenge both of them? And after placing just a breath
away from the gold last year, Great Northern Union will be a
force for the Ambassadors of Harmony to reckon with in
Portland. That'll sure be fun to watch!
In addition to the excitement and
glamour of our competitions and the fun of singing tags, the Portland area is an
incredibly gorgeous place, with so much to see you'll want to spend an extra few
days to take it all in! To see what we're talking about, click HERE. Take in the Rose
Garden, Columbia River Gorge, Multnomah Falls, Mt. St. Helen's & Mt. Hood -
plus, it's only about 100 miles from breathtaking coastal views of the
Pacific!
General housing opens January 15. Register at PORTLAND INTERNATIONAL
