Had an incredible time over the weekend at Far Western District Fall Convention. From my vantage point on stage, I thought we brought it. The entire New Dimension Chorus was on fire. Seven hours later, the scores came out and I wasn’t happy. Before the contest, I was expecting a score of 63-68. The... »

I was perusing the Jack Baird Music Library, and heard this wonderful song about a guy meeting his girl at the church, and thought, “This is it.” Then, I figured out what “It” is. It is the first song of which I am going to complete an arrangement in the Barbershop Style. Then, the... »

Shadow of Your Smile

We were introduced to the Shadow of Your Smile tag. Our baritone requisitioned for the quartet copies of the arrangement. It’s an interesting arrangement, to say the least. It does have a bass melody, though. As we progress, I’m sure it will get better. I hope. »

Visiting San Mateo

I visited the Golden Chordsmen Chorus last week during their quarterly Quartet Night. The night is built around impromptu quartets. One person is selected, then they select a song and the rest of the quartet. No matter how the song sounds, thunderous applause follows. It is rather interesting, as a guest, because I don’t... »

Had chorus rehearsal tonight (last night, actually). Found out that the Far Western District needed a couple more choruses for the upcoming Fall Convention. The New Dimension Chorus has been invited as a wild card. Dude! Six years of history. Twice “Most Improved Chorus” in the past 3 years, and now Fall District Convention.... »
