LET'S HARMONIZE
What about just having some fun?
t's sllch a simple word. Three little letters that spell the difference between a successful event and,
wcll, something less.
Since coming to Kenosha, I've been lucky to be part of an active quartet (Harmony is the 2001
Senior Champ), but because of the nature of the executive director's job, I've not been part of a local
chapter or challis. I miss the hannony, the fun and the fellowship I had with the boys back home in
the Canton (Ohio) Chapter. Sometimes we had more (un than others. I can remember going home
after a chapter meeting only to lie in bed with my eyes wide open, reliving the best parts of the
evening.
hll)' best memories of a great meeting would always include lots of laughs, lots of good and varied
chorus singing, my voice being part of a quartet experience sometime during the evening and a
chance to share and relish the many rich friendships within the chapter. I sometimes measured my
personal fun by whether or not I came away from a chapter meeting as a better singer/performer. And
before I drifted off, I always thought about my enthusiastic commitment for the next Wednesday
night and my wcekly dosc of fim and fellowship.
I just wrote a note to an old AHSOW chum of mine who is ailing. I caught myself saying, "It doesn't
seem like we're having as much fun in barbershopping as we used to." Thank goodness a big majority
of letters, e,mails and calls I get here at Harmony Hall are positive, but some get right
at the heart of the matter. Here are some of the thoughts I've heard or read regarding
having fun.
Fat Tuesday. "Any month with five Tuesdays is celebrated by dcvoting the fifth
Tuesday night to quartet singing only. There are five such months this year. You can
bet I won't miss a one. This is great fun and really breaks up the normal routine of
always getting ready for something. This is our second year, and we've already had
one extra quartet form and register as a result."
To the contrary. Quoting a chapter officer: "How can we afford the time to take a
rehearsal night to go to chapter X's com roast? We are way behind, and the contest
is right around the C0I11er."
YMIH fun. liThe most fun we have had at our chapter for years was last week,
when quartets from two of the high schools in our county showed up at our meeting.
It's been a lot of hard work developing this relationship, but the payoff is huge. How
tim and gratifying to see these kids (our future) loving our harmony and gctting to be
a small part of the grown-up world. Thcy had more fun than we did and so did the
teacher that came along."
In the good old summer time. "Hi 10,' can you recommend a good comedy song
for our informal quartet! \lie are planning for our chapter's annllal 'funnybone' quar~
tet contest. It is always part of our picnic in August and is one of the high points of
our year."
The way we were. "Do you remember back in the '80s, when we did the divi~
sional Harmony Foundation spectacular shows and had chonlses of more than 200
guys from about nine different chapters! Joe Liles came and directed. Now, that was
fun ... to say nothing of the mo ney we raised, or the flln we had with our neighboring
Barbershoppers."
It's a UQ" thing. III wish we'd spend some time on the Barberpole Cat songs. Our new guys just
don't know them at all ... or maybe just a tag quartet to break up the monotony of two or three hours
on the risers."
Murphy's first law of success says you gotta show up. ",\Iie don't go to contest anymore. It's not
like it used to be when everybody went, wives and all, and we cared a lot more about our hospitality
1I
room and afterglow party than we did about how we placed in the competition.
Learned this at COTS. "We decided to kcep a Program VP even though it's not mandatolY·
Why! He is the guy dKlt always organizes quartetting or some tags or shows a contest video. Wonder
why e\fcry chapter doesn't have a Program VP these days! \Y/e found by experience that having fun
doesn't just happen. 'Vie have to think about fun and plan time and effort for it."
2 The HAlU"lONIZER
• May/JI/lle 2003
Serious stuff. "A mystery bus ride ! 1
don't know how we can afford it. The
bus costs about $350, and we need the
money for coaching for the next can,
test."
OUCH! "Fun! What arc you talking
about? I'm a 40-year member, and I feel
threatened and stressed out because of
our chorus's qualifying program."
I'll bet you agree that what we do in
our quest to sing and perform well is
vcr)' hard, dedicated work. To some,
that is the biggest reason to be in
barbershopping. Achieving goals can be
fun, so can winning or selling out a
show. Perhaps we achieve the goal,
then forget about the celebration or the
~Ill part. Perhaps we get too busy thinking about our next achievement to re,
member the fun part.
I'm going to suggest to Lorin ~v[ay
(fabulous editor of the fabulous Hal'll/on;zel') that we start regularly running
your best ideas about having great fun at
our chapter meetings. If you have something special to share on this topic,
send it to Lorin at [email protected]

Is our vision enough about fun?
Th.e Society's Vision Statement says,
uThe Society is to be an ever'growing
fratemity of barbershop-style singers,
leading the cause of encouraging vocal
music in our schools and communities."
Hannony Foundation's new vision
statement reads, "Hannony Foundation
is to be a leading philanthropic force ,
dedicated to perpetuating the barbershop hannony art form for present and
future generations to enjoy."
Our motto is, "Keep the whole world
singing."
So, let's see if I get this right. The
Society's vision covers the schools and
communities, the Harmony Foundation
vision covers the Society, and our
motto covers the whole dam world. But
what about having some fun on Tuesday night from 7:30 to 10 ! What about
our chapters?
jive got it! We need a creed about
a liI' Society. Try this one: "If it doesn't
happen at the chapter level... it doesn't
happen!"
Let's harmonize,

Join the Society for only $107
Get 18 months membership for one year's dues? It's called EasyDues
e can sign tip brand~ncw members for only $ 10, ri nd in the process, they'll ge t 18 months of membcr~
ship fo r the cost of just one year's clues. Here's how:
1. The new member pays the $10 ad ministration fee.
2. He signs lip to have his first year's clues ded ucted from his checking or cred it cmel account.
3. H e immediately becomes a member, ge ts his carcl and new member kit.
4. Each month for the next fi ve months, one-fifth (20 percent) of his ann ual dues (includ ing chapter, d istrict and Society dues) are charged to his credit card/check ing accoun t.
5. By the end of six months, he has paid a full year's dues, and he now gets a new men1bcrship card,
good for one year.
6. Each mon th for the next 12 months. o ne .. twelfth of his second year's dues are automaticall y de ..
dueted from the same account,
7. At the end of that year, his dues are pedd for the following year, he gets a new membership ca rd,
and the process continues.
No big outlay of cash. No dues statement at the end of the year. Not pain~
less, but the EasyDues way to do it-and the best bargai n in the Society. Even
a dues increase of$5 for example, only adds 42 cents to his monthly charge.
Certainly a better perspecti ve than having to deal with rising chapter, district
and Society dues, isn't it?
\Va n't this make it easier when you talk to a prospect about becoming a
member ? It takes the money/cost right out of the discuss ion. The only requ ire~
ment is that he has a credit card or check ing account.
What about current members who get a bill for dues every year?
EasyDues works for eve I1'one. O nce you pay your annual dues, you can sign
up for Easy Dues deductions from your checking o r credit card account, and
never aga in have to wr ite a check for the total amount at the end of the year.
Because this is a "payment in advcmce" program, you must begin next year
when you've already paid for the Cllrrent year.
Remember UPay as you go, J oe"~ This operates on the same basic principle,
but without paying your pay~as~you~go chairman (when yotl could remember
itL and he doesn't have to keep records or send in payments.
The Society Board recently Illet for a long~range planning session, and we
hope to make the EasyOues program the major method of dues payment for all
members in the future. Naturally! th is is based on the need to have a credit
card or checking account! and it is a voluntary program. It sure takes the hurt
a li t of paying dues.
The wives of some of my barbershop friends are in Sweet Adelines! and one
of them mentioned that her dues were $30 per mon th, and that may not even
include the Sweet Adeline international and regional dues, which would acid
about another $100. Can you imagine how many members they'd lose if they sent a single bill each
year for $450! The conce pt works.
Let's make it easy for our guests to join us in this g~ r~r~r~ea t hobby. Just sign them up for EasyDues.

YMIH was a highlight
n another outstanding Harmonizel\ Gary Plaag's
YMIH article was the highlight. I was especially im·
pressed with how often and how tactfully he got across
the point: Don't bring your C quartets to the parry!
A nd what great insight from Shcrri ~vlatthcws.
111is is a program near and dear to my heart, and
that of the Kansas City (Missouri), Chapter. We just
completed Olll" annual Hannon)' Explosion clinic and
quartet contest-we had more than 50 middle· and
high·school foursomes, about equally divided between
boys and girls (middle·high winner~, boys and girls,
sing on matinee of our annllal show, and high
schoole., on night show). W hen we get around these
cnt1ll1siastic young singers, it's sometimes hard to
maintain the cathe<:lral-builcler approach. so that was
certainly worth mentioning!
Dany l hit a good lick, and probably salved some
conccms, with his excellent Harmony
Hall overview. I was initially skeptical
about "l1,e Lady in Row R," but ended
lip read ing it twice. And President Lewis
made some key points, as llsual, about
the
good
things happening now and
ahead. But Gary's article was worth the
whole, uh, subscription price.
Jr~ 1 BAGBY
Heart of America Choms
Expand the umbrella?
As a 43,ycar member, I find that many of the
songs we hear today at contests and on recordings just
don't provide the same gut satisfaction that I used to
get from listening to barbe.,hop singing. Val Hick,,;
and Burt Szabo have provided technical reasons why.
T hank goodness my quartet uses songs that lead di·
rectly to easily harmonizable chords on the circle of
5ths that arc casy to sing and pleasant to listen to. Isn't
that the name of the game?

Probably not the most popular opinion with today's

No free lunch with
grants
Nothing is free, but the most
costly grant is the govel11ment~
provided Ugift." Before you rc~
ceive that dollar, any govern~
ment takes that dollar- plus a
whole lot more in bureaucratic
costs- from someone else. And
there are always strings at~
tached. Govemment involvement
in the arts oftcn produces artists of quest ionable talent

I enjoyed Val Hicks' art icle in the March/April
Harmonizer, but I disagree wi th its underlying premise
that if ncw styles come along, the old styles will go
away. Classica l music has evolved from medieval to
renaissance to bar<X\ue to classical to romantic to
20th·century styles, and all are still performed today.
6 The HARr-.,tONIZER
Jazz has a similar history If barbershop does not
evolve, it will fail to attract new followers. But if it
does cvolve, the earlier barbershop styles will not go
away, nor will groups stop singing the o lder styles. In
the vcry beginning, set arrangements were frowned
upan. Those days are long gone, but has
wcxxlshedding gone away? We must embrace the new
alld preserve the o ld.
Sight-reading question
Regarding The March/April sight.reading article: Far
be it for me to enter a discllssion about music with he~
roes of our craft like Burt Szabo and Brian Beck, but
fools do enter where angels fcar to tread.
Since all the notes are named and
refelTed to by an alphabetical letter and
chords are identified by their ;pel/il/g,
wh y not call the notes to be leamed by
their alphabetical name? You will never
need to bother with a movable "do"
again. Letters me phonetically more
easy to sing. (As a wann#up exercise try
a-boa, a-b-c-b-a, instead of the 1-2- 1 l.
A nd, as in the Solfeggio system, if a
note is to be altered by an accidental, it
is easily su ng by mak ing the flattened
sound with an "aw," or an "eye" sound
to sharpen it.
This is probably not a brilliant idea
and most likely not a new concept, but
it does solve a fell' problems and could
make Sight-reading easier.

In line with Bill Rashleigh's thoughts
on what chol1ls singers should knoll'
(January/Febl1lary issue), here are six
things every singer wishes the director
knew about rehearsing:
I. Each director should appear with a
written plan for the rehea,,"!. There
should be a written plan for the year as
wei!. No changes in the month prior to
the annual show.
l . \Vhen introducing new music,
there should be notations of breath
marks, high #lows, moves, expressions of
feeling, stolY line.
3. D irectors must do more than keep
time with th eir hands. Important lead#.
ins must be cued for each part. First
words must be given for pelfecr starts.
4. D irectors with a plan can reduce
chit-chat by being ready with directions
for the next step. Pauses in leadership
cause inattention.
5. Off-hand comments to do things
sllch as "not sing hard R's" don't last. A
couple of minutes of instruction and
practice will last longer.
6. S inging is fun, especially when you
do it wei!. Doing it well as a group is the
director's responsibility. TIlere is a fine
line betwee n repetition of a few phrases
to achieve pel{ection and overall quality. Directors need to encourage and
inspire, not nag.

Analyze your way to better interpretation
arbershoppers concentrate primarily on a song's lyrics to guide them in making pctformance deci~
sians. However, many of liS are unaware that a song also has a musical form, independent of its
text. You will interpret and petform songs better when you understand how each song is put to~
gether and how its form works with the lyrics.
The basic l1lusicalunit in popular songs, especially those that Barbershoppcrs sing, is the
phrase-almost always fOllr or eigh t measures long. Our ears are so accustomed to these four, ancl
eight,bar phrases that hearing a phrase of five or nine measures makes many of us uneasy.
These (Olll" or eighHneasure phrases are cOInbined to form larger sections, including:
• Introduct ions of 4 or 8 Illeasures
• Song verses of 12 or (usualiy) 16 measures
• Rdrains or choruses of 16 or 32 measures
The study how songwriters combine phrases is a topic worthy of more analysis than space ai,
lows here. The point here is that Barbershoppers need to understand not only how musical
phrases combine to fOlll1 larger structures, but also how the phrases relate to one another. Con,
siclcr, for example the refrain o("My Wilcllrish Rose":

Pve laid out the melody so it's easy to see that the song is made up of fOllr, eight,bar phrases.
(Incidentally, the pick,up note at the beginning does not count as a measure.) The lyrics support
eight measures (rather than (our) as the phrase length. Sing through it to YOlIl>elf ancl sec. Use the
following ana lysis of the song structure as an example o( what you may look (or when getting
ready to inte'1)ret other songs.
Let the structure help dictate when to breathe
Most of us tend to take a breath whenever itls conve nient. (lIve h eard rumors that some
quartets and choruses will even take a breath in the middle of a word! ) For my chorus, 1exam,
ine each song ahead of time, locate each phrase, and e ncourage the chorus to sing the en t ire
phrase in a single breath. (As a visual elue, song composers often insert a rest at the phr-dse
endings, providing the si nger with a natural place to breathe.) Not only can we deliver the
12
may
The IIARMONIZER • ,\Iay/Jll lle 2003
II
song's message more clearly when it is
not interrupted with a breath, but we
also discover that we don't need to
breathe every four measures unless
there's a musical reason for doing so.
Fewer breaths almost always yield a
much more musical result- just listen
to petfonnances of any of the top quar,
tets or choruses.
Nip a potential weak
spot in the bud
Notice that every phrase of liMy
Wild Irish Rose" ends with a note that's
held for five beats. A longer held note
at the end of a phrase is very COIlll110n,
but it also creates a momcllt3l), pause in
the forward motion in the llU5ic. 111is
can be problematic for the average
quartet or chorus because the eneq:,l)'
and motion created during the course of
the phrase comes to a halt. The pelformance may come across as a bunch of
discrete phrases, one after the other,
without any sense of one plume leading
to the next. Swipes, which atTangers
often insert at d,e ends of phrases to
help maintain forward motion, are of,
ten overlooked in petformance. Now
that you've identified this structural
challenge, you can find a way to deal
with it.
Add variety to discovered
patterns and relationships
Look at the phrase structure of an
entire refrain/chollls and you may dis,
cover some relationships you might
have otherwise overlooked. For ex,
ample, in "Nty Wild Irish Rose/' the
first and thi rd phrases are identical, and
the second and fourth phrases start out
the same, but end differently. Recognizing these facts will help you better interpret the music.
To show h ow the phrases relate to
one another, use a simple, traditional
music ana lysis technique to identify
phrases. U se one letter (such as "A") to
mark a particular phrase and any time
that phrase is later repeated. Use liB,"
IIC" and "0" to mark different phrases
and their repetitions. TIle plume stn.IC'
ture of "My Wild Irish Rose" is: A B A
B2. The B2 (called "B prime") means
that the fourth phrase is vcry similar to
the first 13 phrase, but not exactly the
same.
Us ing this type of analysis, we can
see that this song is actually split into
two 16,measure units that are very
similar to each other. Repe tition is an
effective tool in song writing, but the
songwriter likely did not inte nd similar
phrases to be sling in exactly the sa me
manne r- that's not an effective pelfor~
mance technique. When the same
phrases are repeated, morc often th em
not you better serve the song by mak,
ing appropriate and artistic differences
in the way the phrases are performed,
whe thcr itls a change in dynamics,
tempo, tone color, mood, ex pression,
etc .
Now, "My Wi ld Irish Rose" is a
rather simple song compared to the
repertoire of most quartets and cho,
ruses. The important thing is to recog,
nize that all songs are constructed us'
ing phrases. O nce you start recognizing
these phrases, you've taken a critical
first step in putting toge ther a more
meaningful petfonnance, for both you
and the audie nce.

the
VOICE of DICK
Voices in harmony can change the world. They can be a powerful message of unity in a world that is dangerously divided. They can reach
across walls and connect the souls of people everywhere. They can
cross political, socioeconomic, and physical differences.
Harmony means one, not one-on-one. Harmony is smooth, rough
edges are gone. Harmony blends the separate voice into the inseparable chord.
The Harmony Foundation provides the opportunity to unite your voice
and resources in a remarkable force for human betterment through the
Barbershop Harmony Society, its members and friends.
Not to mention the good it does for your own soul!
Dick Van Dyke
Honorary Chairman
the
VOICE of GRATITUDE
The central message echoed on every page of the 2002 Harmony Foundation Annual Report is that of profound appreciation. The Board of
Trustees wishes to express to each donor a heartfelt "Thank you" on
behalf of children, youth and adults throughout the world who have
had their lives enriched as a result of your generosity. They will be forever in your debt.
The Harmony Foundation would also be grateful for your help in a
smaller, but most important matter. Every effort has been made to provide accurate information in this report. If errors exist, please accept
our apology and know this was not our intention. Also, please contact
us with the correct information so we can maintain the highest standards in every area of our organization.

the
VOICE of TERRY
The Harmony Foundation has experienced a couple
of years of growing pains as well as suffering investment losses similar to most everyone. The end of
2002 found the Board of Directors in search offulltime senior leadership with deep, proven experience
in non-profit management as well as the strategic
skills to help us grow to the next level of organizational maturity, professionalism and success.
The trustees are grateful to Gary Stamm for his
years of service. Gary performed yeoman duty by
working for both the Foundation and the Barbershop Harmony Society simultaneously. Along with
so many who also respect and appreciate him, the
trustees and staff wish Gary every success in his
future endeavors.
With a change in leadership, the trustees expect to
better define and align the development effort of
Harmony Foundation and the Barbershop Harmony
Society in ways that help both organizations focus,
strengthen and grow. We plan to make giving programs clearer and ensure all fund raising activities
enable our members and friends to fulfill their
hopes for promoting harmony, both now and in the
future. Understand this will mean change in program and approach. Also know that the trustees are
unanimous in their resolve to lead Harmony Foundation to a position of greater financial health.
The Trustees invite you to join your voice with ours.
Welcome and support our new Executive Director.
Tell us you are also committed to moving into the
future as a strong and effective foundation .
In a wonderful demonstration of harmony, I ask
you to help fill the Annual Report for 2003 with ten
thousand new voices who have spoken with their
financial commitments to supporting and promoting the harmony that music alone can bring to
our world.
ABOUT THE FOUNDATION

VOICE of DON
I have been a member of the Barbershop Harmony
Society for most of my adult life. I cannot conceive of
another activity which has, or ever could have, given me
as much personal pleasure, and provided me with the
opportunity to share my talents with others. Therefore, I
feel that there is no more worthy recipient of my lifetime's
accumulations than the Harmony Foundation. in the
hope that all future generations will be able to experience
the great things in life like I have.
Endowment has been the major focus of the Harmony
Foundation's development effort from the beginning. The
Founder's Club waS created in 1991 to honor the memory
of O.c. Cash. found er of the Barbershop Harmony Society. It recognizes the major gifts of individuals committed to respecting a legacy by investing in the future.
Please consider creating your legacy to harmony through
the Harmony Foundation.

The HARMONI ZER
Barbershopping has been an integral part of my life in times both good and bad. for over half of the last
century. I feel that my donation is part "payback" for
what Society membership has meant to me. and part
"investment" in Society programs which will ensure
the same enjoyment for thousands of men in this
next century!

VOICE of J.P.
Barbershop Harmony Society members and friends who
are able to make significant contributions to any Harmony Foundation gift program frequently choose to do
so as a combination of current and planned gifts.
One of the best ways to voice love and respect for someone who is deceased is to memorialize their life with a
gift, large or small, in their name to Harmony Foundation. The giving possibilities are endless and range from
establishing a scholarship fund to naming a program 01'
building. Bequests and outright gifts are the most common methods of endowing memorial funds.
Harmony Foundation is grateful for gifts received as Memorials to individuals. Persons memorialized are noted
in bold, followed by the name(s) of those who provided
gifts in their memory.

VOICE of ROGER
My parents lovingly supported me their entire lives.
This included my interest in music. Until they were
too infirm, they attended every concert I was in
- from childhood to adulthood. Harmony Foundation is a wonderful and appropriate way for me to
say "Thanks" to them .

VOICE of CHRISTY
The Youth Harmony Camp has just been a really great
experience for me. This has been sooooo much fun.
Getting a whole lot of people together who love to
sing is so ex hilarating. I hope that we can spread the
art of barbershop throughout the country through
people my age because it really is a great time. I hope I
can conle again .

the
VOICE of THOM
There are many reasons why my wife Carla and I
believe so strongly in Harmony Foundation and the
resulting benefits to om Society, our communities,
young voices, our members and futme members.
Benefits abound, but such benefits obviously cannot be
achieved without the necessary funding . We've seen
positive results and will continue our support.
Established inlgg8, the General Fund provides the
critical annual income to operate Harmony Foundation
and fund strategic programs of the Barbershop Harmony Society. To be positioned for a strong and viable
future, Harmony Foundation's General Fund must
double in size from the income raised during 2002.
Your gifts to Harmony Foundation help change lives.
Thank you .

VOICE of CHAD
My brother Brandon and I were bowled over by barbershop at a Harmony Explosion presentation to our
high school choir by Barbershopper Ron Weaver. I
couldn't believe barbershop had slipped under my
radar for so long! The core of guys from our district
have become lifelong friends and we've had some of
the most fun I've ever had .
Thanks to Harmony Foundation for supporting the
efforts of guys like Ron.

the
VOICE of GLORIANN
I want to express my sincere appreciation for your support in sending me to Directors College. I have not been
directly involved in the Barbershop Society in the past
and was overwhelmed by the warm reception I received
from the members. It was a life changing experience.
As an educator, I was encouraged to visit as many different classes as possible and learn as much as I could
about the barbershop style of music. I can honestly say
that this week of classes was the best experience I have
had for summer enrichment in many years. I was inspired, entertained, emotionally motivated and recharged
to come home and begin a new year of teaching school.
The knowledge I brought home will continue to influence
my teaching for years to come. I cannot tell you what a
difference attending Directors College has made for me. I
wish there were a way for all music educators to have this
same experience. It is an invaluable resource and the Society needs to continue to send educators so that they,like
me, can learn firsthand what a first class Society it really
is . Again, I thank you for your generosity.

VOICE of RANDY
Harmony Foundation District Chairs and their fundraising teams hold the potential to reshape the future of music in their respective areas and beyond. In addition
to increased focus on grant-seeking from local granting-making organizations,
additional opportunities must be provided for the Barbershop Harmony Society
members and friends to get more involved in Harmony Foundation.
•
These pages give a summary of some of the fund-raising activity in local Chapters.
District Harmony Foundation Chairs are listed with funds raised for Harmony
Foundation and per member gift averages . Also indicated are average gift and
dollars raised by the Barbershop Harmony Society chapters for donation to local
charities. Finally noted are the combined pCI' member gift averages.
Harmony Foundation awards are a small recognition of those who make their
voice of charity heard through financial giving. A truly worthy goal would be to
have every Chapter included in charitable giving recognition next year.
Let's join in a voice of generosity for the programs of the Barbershop Harmony
Society through ever increasing chapter support of Harmony Foundation.

I'm so pleased that our Society's initial grant development program has progressed to where it can now
become an intergal and permanent component of
our Harmony Foundation's fund raising program.
The duties and responsibilities of the former Grant
Program Sub -Committee have been dissolved, with
the program's administration now one of the functions of the Harmony Foundation staff. This mission
involves developing direct grants from a variety of
sources for the Society's own functional programs,
as well as continuing and expanding the grant program educational function encouraging and assisting districts and chapters with their local public and
private grant programs. Be assured that some of us
involved in the early development of this program
will remain involved in some advisory capacity, yet to
be determined. Despite the difficult current budget
situation many public funding agencies are experiencing and the diminished capacity of many private
funding sources, I'm confident that support for the
arts will again flourish and that barbershoppers will
be encouraged and trained to receive their fair share.

the
NEW VOICE
It's a rare occurrence to hear harmonious voices
these days. More often the voices are at odds in
relationship, business, religion and politics.
It seems to me that those who have the ability to
carry a tune have an opportunity quite like no other. Making music with your own voice and blending it into an inseparable chord with others is a
powerful experience. Voices united in song translate speechlessness and transcend separateness.
It's amazing with four voices - it's phenonmenal
with 100. The listener, too, is transported. It's no
wonder those who experience this miracle drink it
in deeply and just can't seem to get enough!
I have had the privilege of hearing a few of the
voices of the Barbershop Harmony Society and
its supporters and look forward to hearing from
others. Some are concerned about preserving the
past. Some are interested in ensuring the future.
All the voices I've heard, however, share a passion
for enjoying, promoting and supporting the
Barbershop Harmony Society.
I am proud to join my voice with yours as we move
into the future. I can assure you of one thing, the
more voices that join together, the greater our
accomplishments can be.
Clarke A. Caldwell

little while back, 1 had a conversation with a recent
quartet meda list about show packages. A s we were
swapping stories, he me ntioned that there were times

when he felt they didn't get the impact from their set
they thought they deserved. Sure , they sang great,

( a )(~
why thi s article wi ll concentrate o n what we do to
put as much Mo all the way through a typical 30minute Dallas Knights show set as possible. There is
a tried and true format we use to get that job done.
The following is a tried and trlle format we often
standing ovation, in spite of the fact that we don't
sing like international medalists by any means. So we
use, but there are literally hundreds of ways to apply
the ideas contai ned here. These principles apply to
both full-length show packages and shorter, informal
gigs. A lthough the following is written regard ing a
quartet, the principles apply to choruses as well.
compared show sets song by song and break by break.
That's where I said, "My friend, it looks like you need
to put some 1\10 in that ShoH' from the Gil Go!
The beginning of the show
but somehow they weren't getting standing ovations
consistently. This seemed weird to me, because my
quartet, Dallas Knights, practically always gets a
Mo~ mentllm
that is.
My goal when putting toge ther a show package is
that I want the audience to feel it was the fastes t 2530 Ininutes they have ever experienced. That's no easy
task these days, especially with e ntertainment expec~
tat ion levels raised greatl y from music videos, roc k
concerts, act ion movies and even the Internet. That's

The HARMONIZER . May/JUlie 2003
Get the emcee working for you
Your first impress ion means the most in this game!
(As they say in Texas, from the "git go.") Supply the
e mcee with a short and enthusiastic intro--10 to 15
seconds tops! This will create a big sudden burst of
applause energy, which
will propel you to take
com~
I /
mand of the stage. Do not leave this to
chance. Otherwise, the emcee may end up
taking several minutes, reading your entire bio
word~for~word from the show program, thus boring
your audience to tears, minimizing your initial im~
pact and diminishing the burst of applause energy you
deserve. Those interested enough in knowing that
your tenor is a music teacher and has pets can read
about it in the program or talk to you after the show,
/
Hit 'em with a Hammer!
Accept this big burst of applause energy from the
audience, and before the applause dies down, come
back to your quartet singing position and channel
that energy into your opener, or what I like to
call The Hammer- grabbing the audience's at~
tent ion and not letting up. The hammer needs
to be a fast, driving uptune that has a huge, ring~
ing tag. Your goal is for the audience to think to
themselves, "Wow, these guys can sing!" and for
them to give you an even bigger burst of applause
than when you were first introduced.
Pound in the Nail
Resist at all costs the urge to speak after the first song!
If you talk, the audience will start fidgeting immedi~
ately, and it's almost impossible to get it to stop.
Instead, accept the audience's bigger burst of ap~
plause energy, and before the applause dies down,
come back to your quartet singing position and chan~
nel that energy into your second song, or what I like
to call The Nail! After the first song, the audience
has a natural tendency to think to themselves, "That
was great, but what else have you got t' The impact of
The Nail must be as strong as The Hammer-to com~
bat the natural audience skepticism and nail the al1~
dience to their seats so that they can't become fidg~
ety.
This song is usually a wcll~rehearsed, contest~ql1al~
ity uptune, again with a huge tag-although it doesn't
have to be that kind of song. Impact isn't necessarily
measured in decibels here. If you have an exception~
ally strong, recognizable ballad in your repertoire, then
it might work at this point in your show. A ballad is
the exception to the rule, though. If you have any
doubt that you can hold the audience, go with an
uptune with a huge tag.
Your goal at the end of The Nail is for the audience to think "Wow, these guys are goocl! I think I'm
really going to enjoy this!" If you have done your job
right, you'll get another burst of applause, hopefully
even bigger than the first two you received.
burst of applause energy, and b~ro/'e the applause dies
down, come back to quartet singing position and
channel that energy into the third song, or what I
like to call The Slide! Why The Slide! Because we
slide into the song sneakily before the audience even
realizes it's started.
The quartet spokesperson steps to the mike and
takes 30-60 seconds to introduce the quartet, elicit
an audience response, and set up the next song while
the other members of the quartet are singing an intra
on a neutral vowel (such as doo, doo, ciao) like a disk
jockey's voice~over. At the end of the voice~over, the
speaker joins in the singing without pause.
This song needs be well~rehearsed and have a regll~
lar beat pattern (opposed to balladized) so the spokesperson knows exactly when to segue from speaking
to singing. You probably will have to work out an intro
of some kind on your own, since most arrangements
are not put together with this in mind.
The Slide accomplishes tlVO things: It keeps the
set moving forward (hence the Big At/o boost we're
after) and it gives the audience a seamless musical
presentation. You've already introduced yourselves,
yet there has been music coming from that stage ev~
cry second, except for the times of big bursts of ap~
plause. Isn't that what the audience came to hear in
the first place!

Now you can stop time
After The Slide, accept the audience's even bigger
burst of applause energy, and b~rore the applause dies
down, come back to your quartet singi ng position and
channel that energy into The C lock Stopper. It's time
to take the foo t off the gas pedal a little and change
gears to show the softer side of your q uartet. YOll want
the audie nce to be mesmeri zed, to feel as if time stood
sti ll during your perfonnance.
Is there something really lasty in your repertoire?
A gorgeous love ballad? Maybe a song with lush har-
ma ny ? The trick is, the so ng n eeds to be
recognizable and to tell the story itself without need
for introduction. Remember Big Mo! It's on your side
now and YOll want to keep it that way. Your audience
shouldn't need directions from Mapqlles/. colll to get
the message . They don't need to hear that Billy
Joel was born in 1949 in a little Bronx log cabin ".
(ZZZZZ!Z ... crickets chirping .. ,) G ive your audience

Put the car in park, but keep

We're midway th rough the set a nd o n a se rious roll.
It's now time to diversify and sh ow you have person~
ality, both as a gro up and as individuals. Do you
have any novelty or comedy songs? Can you sing along
with an instrume nt? We put two of o ur comedy and
novelty songs right h ere. And yes, we fin ally put the
car in park for no //lore Iholl 60 secollds ond wlk.
If you have a really good joke teller ond a joke that's
a laugh riot, go fo r it! But if the audience has heard
the joke or the gag doesn't always work, a joke wi ll
make the audience squirm. Can't h ave that, not even
once!
Because we are not joke tellers and we don't talk a
lot, Dallas Knights uses a few well-ploced one-liners
instead. For years, as our guy at the mike, I'd hear the
o thers' terrificall y funny lines q uietiy bandied about
behind me. I eventually thought, uThe audience can
plainly see something's go ing on behind me-maybe
it's time to let them in on it." So one night I said to
the Knights, "Tonight, so mething new- if you think
of something funny to say off the cliff, just nudge me
as ide at the mike a nd say it!"
Light bulb! This added a dimensio n of spontaneity and humor to the pe rformance withollt hindering
the flow. And if the clever side remark crocked us up
o n stage, all the better. It gives the audience the fecling, "Those guys are really haV ing flln up there. Come
to think of it, I'm having fun right h e re with 'em!"
Time for The Message
After showing your funn y side, accept the audience's
big burst of laughter and applause energy, and before
the applause dies clown, co me back to your q uartet
singing position a nd ch annel that burst of e ne rgy into

To show yet ano ther side of Dollas Knights, we

Bring them to their feet with
The Firecracker
It's seven songs and 25 minutes or so
into the package. If you've done you r
job right, as a performer you' ll be say'
ing to yourself, "WOW! That we nt by
fastl" A nd guess what! Your audience
is probably saying it too! But your job
is not done yet. It's time to build big Mo
to the finish by doing the slide one more
time right into The Firecracker, as in,
"We lit a fire c rac ker underneath
theil' seats to ge t them on their feet!"
By using the slide technique, your
speake r has the musical backdrop to
push the set forward for one rnore 30,
to 60,second voiceover to thank the
aud ience for thei r wa rm th and kindness
and announce that this will be the final
song in the set. Then he slides right into
The Firecracker (or closer) seamlessly,
just as before.
The Firecracker needs [0 be power,
ful! Depending on the personality of
your group, it can go in any number of
directions as long as it's a ve ry strong
song, a very strong performance, or a
very strong message. It can be:
• That signature contest uptllne every'

• A patr iot ic song that' ll ge t their

• A real()' funn y song that ge ts them

• Anothe r rocking spiritual that gets

you'll hear a volcanic eruption of applause and hope . .
fu lly it will be followed by a standing ovation.
Accept the ovation
There are many kinds of standing ovations. The sonic
boom, when the entire crowd leaps to its feet all at
once. The wave, where row by row, everyone cven . .
tuall y rises, usually from the back to front. Those that
build from a drizzle to a storm where one or two stand
sporad ically through the crowd, then more and more
unt il everyo ne is on thcir fcet. Then finall y, the par..
tiac where a portion of the crowd is up and some arc
not.
Go to the front of the stage and humbly accep t the
applause and be patient. If you were on fire all performance with no let-ups, stand therc with confidence.
The standing ovation will be there.
Dallas Knights never plans encores. W hen we have
performed them in the past, wc've been disappointed
by the audience reaction, evcn whcn the audience was
tearing the place up afte r The Firecracker. T his is
probably because the encore was 3l1ti-climactic. Aftcr
all, you just threw the ki tchcn sink at them. A nything less will be a let-down.
The way I see it, if you plan an encore by holding
back your Firecracker, you're gambling big time. W hat
if the audience, for whatever reason, isn't standing at
the end of your set ? Wouldn't you feel foolish coming
out and doing another one when an encore isn't de ..
served! O r worse, you didn't even get to do your Fire ..
cracker because YOll were saving it for the encore? T he

and your audience was cheated out of your best l1um ..
bel'.
Unless YOll have something even better than the
Fi rccracker in the repertoire , lay it all on the line for
your set, acce pt the standing ovation, and come back
out for a curtain call only. Lealie them wanting more!
W ho knows, maybe they'll come to the afte rglow or
purchase one of your recordings.

YOll r own quartet or chorus. Realize they are mere
suggestions we share based on experience with mo,

work for all performing ensembles, and there are hun,

O n the other hand, take a long, hard look at your

Loud leisure suits lead to baseball title
Coach credits Jurassic Larks' performance with his team's turn-around
summers ago, a dejected Urbandale (\oll'a) High
School baseball team sought solace in a McDonald's
while heading home aftcr two dreadful "away" games
and a season that so far had as many losses as wins.
Who should they meet there but the Jurassic Larks.
To hear then assistant coach Mike Cook tell it, that
encounter changed the tcam's destiny.
While Cook and the head coach wondered who
the (our guys were in the "brightest colored leisure
suits" they had ever seen, one of the quartet members
stopped by the team's table to chat. He had graduated from Urbandale a "few" years before. Q uartets
being the way they are, the Larks asked if the team
would like to hear a song. Getting a positi ve rc~
sponse, they launched into the ir pa rody of UYcstcr~
day."
''Well, needless to say I sat there laughing so hard
I had to put napkins ove r my face to stop the stream
of tears," Cook explained. "I couldn't breathe, and I
though t my ((Xxi was going to come lip."
Cook, now the team's h ead coach, recalled, II • •• af~

W ho needs a rabbit's foot? With a winning record
like the quartet's, no team e vent or wedding ought to
be considered complete without the four guys in
bright polyester. Just don't expec t them to dazzle you
with a bat- afte r all, these leisurely guys are strictly
pe rformers now. A great baseball coach wi ll tell you
tha t their best sporting moment was uYesterday."
The Web and far-flung friends keep barbershop a long-haul adventure
His rig's n amed IIPower Play;" his CB h rmdle's "Rip~

that Barbershoppers can, indeed, be found in all
walks of life. A member of Frank Thorne chapter,

wheel travels using the Society Web si te.
"If the timing is just right, and I hit the right city
on the right day in early afternoon, 1 get on the Web
and do a chapter search," he said. !IThus far, I've
been able to visit the chapters in Rogers, A rk.,
Schenectady, N.Y., and, most recently, Jackson,
Miss."
Beil depe nds on chapter members being gracious
e nough to pick him up at a truck stop. "Niost re~
hearsal venues are in residential areas, and the local
gendarmes frow n o n taking an 1 8~whee le r into such
areas. And, beca use of the threat of freight theft, I
can not unhook truck from trailer," he explained.
Beil, whose wife is a Sweet Ade line, explains why
he bothers to seek out other Barbershoppers:
"In 1998 , I retired from the Marines after 29 years.
While I don't miss sleeping o n the ground in the
mud, I do miss the camaraderi e. Joining SPEBSQSA
in 200 1 has helped fill that void. In the Corps, our
common bonds we re shared sac rifi ce ancllove of
country. In th e Society, we not only share th ar same
love of A merica, but also the woncletful experience
of singing barbershop h annony."
Tell afriend you're a Barbershopper ...
... He might tllrn Ollt to be govemor of SOllth Dakota. Really. So
di scovered Tom H an sen, tenor of The Pals quartet from Aber~
eleen, shown here with Governor NUke Rounds.
A friendship formed whi le both served in the state legislatllre
ultimately led to The Pals performing at the inauguration as way of
showcasing local pClfonning arts groups. Left to right are: Tom
Hansen, tenori Loren S iefken, bari; Jean Rounds, GovenlDr M ike
ROllnds; Terry White, leacl; Roland Pond, bass.
By the way, it was just last issue we were telli ng readers about
how olltside of New Mexico this year, we didn't know of another
chapter that had been invited to sing at a governor's inauguration.
But The Pals happe n to be a quartet-get it? not a chorus-so ollr
high standards of accuracy remain intact, if you don't count the
lette rs we got from chorus members who said they'd sling at a
governor's inauguration years before. But we can say with assurance
that th is is definitely the first
time we've ever
heard of a quarleI singing at a
govemor's inau~
guration, for the
state of SOllth
Dakota, th is
century.
Latest chapter in the long debate over nature
versus nurture: Are tho se Dirks boys s ingers
b ecause it's in thei r DNA) or because th ey
g re w up singing? Maybe it wasn 't a question
when Lyle joined back in '57 at the tender a ge
of 23, nor when his son Larri climbed onboard
in '66 at age 21. But with Ben, age 14, joining
this year, we have to wonder. Current proj e c~
lions show the family forming a four·g ener atlon quartet in, say, 2013 ... 2020??

Quartet singers know intimately how profoundly thei r perfor~
manccs can affect the lives of their aud iences. Something
about the nearness of the singers to their listeners builds a
bond that's deep ly personal and enduring.
Enduring, in fact, beyond the ravages of age, beyond the
gcavc and beyond proximity. So reports N otably Yours, of
the Rocheste r (New York) C hapte r, who connected with
their friend despite all these travai ls.
"OUf friend, Dan Chaffee, who had extreme dementi a, was
failing over the past four years, " reports bass Gil Krepps.
"But, each year when we performed for his birthday, he was
extremely apprec iative and he even sang along with us when
we performed the chestnuts he knew."
Dan died the week of July 4, and the famil y asked Notably
Yours to perform for the fami ly at Dan's viewing. Unfortll~
natel y, the was out of town and the quartet was not able to
petform. That didn't prevent them from taking part, though;
e~mail (rom the Dan's daughter provides the story:
''Notably Yours were N OT absen t at the calling hours. We
had the video from dad's birthday going continuously in one
corner and slides from his life in the other corner. His best
man came and stood in the middle of the room not knowing
wh ich corncr to watch! It reall y was special."
Indeed. W hen music makcs the connection, it's hard to
break it.

You just never know whose heart
you're going to touch
Our qu artet, Gulf Coast R eunion, was doing a uLa~
dies Night" for a big shopping mall - stro lling to
give female shoppers a rose and a song. W hile we
were taking a break in the food court, the crowd's
roar suddenly softened to a dull murmur and our at~
tenrion was drawn across the room to a huge fellow
in an oversized wheelchair. He had to be well over
500 pounds.
We rctumeci to our refreshments and were discuss,
ing quartet business when that same wheelchair sud,
denly bumped into my chair! The driver was in his
early thirties, his clothes were disheveled and he
clearly was in tCITible physical condition. Yet, his eyes
sparkled as he extended his hand and said, ''Hi, I'm
Bill. You probably don't remember me, but you saved
my life."
He went on to explain that in the late '80s, he was
doing his best to be a high school drop,out. One Saturday, he hung around the school auditorium because
there was some kind of choir event, and he was going
to harass the IIwimpy" boys who chose to
sing rather than sports or join a gang.
The event was a Young Men
In Hannony workshop. I found
Bill standing near the registration desk in the hall. Not
knowing (or caring) that he
wasn't in the boys choir, I
coaxed him into singing
some tags. He was good.
COLLEGIATE CONTEST LEADS TO TOKYO, CRUISE SHIPS AND BEYOND
Barbershop championshIps aren't the only way top college sIngers
find "life after the college contes!." Ask ErIc Monson, barl of
1992 college champ Water Street Junction. SIx months after wInnIng the first college contest, the quartet found itself In Germany
performing In an American musical revue. ErIc has subsequently
made a career singing on cruIse ships, and most recently, as part
of a quartet at the Tokyo DIsney Sea theme park.
Last Slimmer, Reggie Mobley, of 1999 college champs Station 59
joIned the quartet to round out the lineup pIctured here. Next on
deck: Barbershopper Chris Coffee of FlorIda (also of Station 59)
and Joel D1ffendaffer, another collegiate contest veteran and a
member of Chanticleer who has sling on two of the group's
Grammy·wlnnlng recordIngs. II
He loved it. A nd, he
\ . ........~::~ wound up staying for
~
the whole session!
Bill said it was a tlIllling point in his life .
He jo ined the choir, graduated from high school and
went on to become a policeman to work wi th "prob~
lem" kids-just like he had been. Then, about 10
years ago, he stepped in to break up a fight, was
thrown to the ground and broke his back. The injul)'
also did something to his nervous system, causing nar~
colepsy, and he began to retain fluids, eventually
reaching more than 540 pounds.
Years of medical treatments and diets seemed
inca~
pable of reducing his incredible size and, without spe-
cial surgery, he soon would die. Major surgery was
scheduled, but he didn't see any reason to live. l1len,
he happened upon our quartet, remembered his high
school experience and decided to take charge of his
life, once again.
With tears in his eyes, he asked (or our quartet card,
saying l'Next tilne YOll see me, I'll be 300 pounds
lighter, and I want YOll to sing at my wedding. Thanks,
man. YOLI Barbershoppers arc tile best."

A tag born of great barbershop breeding
....,.,...... his month's tag comes from the lone son of a large
family that has lived and breathed barbershop for
generations. Carl and Helen Brock produced five
daughters and son Bob. all singers. Carl was a Category Specialist in Balance and Blend back in the
·SOs. All their children were taught to
sing harmony before school age. At nine
years old, Bob started an eight .. year stint
as bass in the first of 300 peL{onnances

This talented family has been a treasure chest of musical leadership for men
tinues to
be act ive in the new Nlusic Category, and
will judge in the AAMBS contest this fall.
In 1960. I3ob. singing bari. with his quartet. Hoosier Statesmen, won the Indiana .. Kentucky District
(now the Cardinal District). The highlight of that
contest was his quartet singing Bob's ar..
rangement of "Last N ight Was The End Of
The World." The tag blew the audience
away. That Saturday night, uBuzz" Haeger,
then singing with the famous Four Ren..
egades, cornered I30b and asked to be
taught this awesome tag. I30b shared it. and
the Four Renegades, 1965 champ. used it
on their recording of the song.
Bob sang bass with the incredible Impos-
and women. Ruth Ann went on to win
tors quartet, winning the Illinois District in
the Sweet Adeline's 1967 international
contest with the Hurricane Honeys and married
GaLY Parker. bass extraordinaire of Dealer's Choice
(1973 international champion).
Bob went on to direct Salt Lake City's Mountain
Jubilee Chorus to firth place in the first Sweet
Adelines' chorus competition in 1971. A certified
judge in the Arrangement CategoLY in 1971. he con-
1962 and finishing 6th. 5th and 3rd in three international contests . . . 1963. 1964 and 1965. respectively.
He has directed many Society choruses, including
Belleview Washington who finishecl in the top to
in Kansas City. 1989.
I love this tag. Bob. Thanks to all of the Brocks for
sharing your harmony and leadership with the bar~
bershop world.
