Essentials in
Midwinter
Calling California Singers
Updated: 4/11/2008 4:33:33 PM
Based on the tremendous feedback from this year’s Midwinter Convention in San Antonio, on January 30, 2009 at the Society’s Midwinter Convention in Pasadena, California, a special performance will be presented by a chorus comprised of Barbershoppers from all across the California. Appearing as the opening act on the Friday Night Show this ensemble will perform two great arrangements under the direction of Dr. Greg Lyne.
Dr. Greg Lyne is a noted choral director, arranger, composer and vocal educator. Currently the full-time Director of Voices In Harmony, he has also directed the Masters of Harmony to three International Chorus Championships of the Barbershop Harmony Society (1990, 1993, & 1996), and the West Towns Chorus to one (1987). He previously served as Director of Music Education and Services for the Barbershop Harmony Society.
Tools provided: Part-predominant learning tracks will be provided in MP3 format along with PDF files of the music from a password-protected website. Rehearsals: All singers will be expected to arrive in Pasadena “off the spots” and attend a mandatory two hour rehearsal on Friday morning. Uniform: A navy blue, single-breasted blazer, white, long-sleeve button down shirt, neatly pressed khaki pants, black shoes, black belt, black socks, solid red straight tie. Registration: Members will need to be registered for the convention if they expect to have a seat in the venue during the Friday night show or attend any other Midwinter convention events. Cost for convention registration will be $85 and will be opening soon. Deadline to register: November 15, 2008 Limitation: The California All-Star Chorus is open to the first 200 members that register. Over 30 slots have already been filled.
If you are a member in good standing of a Society chapter based in California and are interested in participating, please send your full name, mailing address, phone number, email address, chapter name, preferred voice-part (and other parts you would be willing to sing), to CaliforniaChorus@barbershop.org or mail it to: Barbershop Harmony Society - Attn: Danielle Cole - 110 7th Ave N - Nashville, Tennessee 37203
Whether you’re on the risers, or in the audience, this special performance is bound to create some “gold medal moments” for all involved.
