Looking Back on the Oct
18th Chapter Meeting
The chapter met at First
Baptist this week again to record our contest package. Associate director Tony Colosimo headed up the music team
for the nite. Mike Kelly and Dennis
Ritchey did the sound work and all the set up.
We had sectionals to
start the nite after warm ups and then recorded the uptune from contest. Then after break, repeated that schedule to
record the ballad.
The annual meeting for
election of officers was postponed until next week when there would be a
quorum.
Members should be sure
to watch for the weekly announcement summary from the executive director’s
office as there are many shows and events coming up.
All sectionals will be
on Sat. Oct 22 at First Baptist working on the new holiday music.
President Randall Eliason reported on some member
news. Shawn Tallant has had shoulder surgery and is recovering.
John Adams, longtime member of the chapter who now lives and sings in NC,
suffered a stroke on Friday nite Oct. 14th. He is already making some recovery according
to barbershop informants. John was tenor in the NOVA CHORDS
quartet and in the gold medal seniors quartet champ from our chapter,
REMINISCE. He was chapter president too.
President Randall has announced plans for the
memorial services for Jim Stockton
and reminds all that if you wish to sing at the service (with the Mt. Vernon
Chapter guys), contact their director Drew
Fuller for music details.
In other news. Jordan Haedtler and his brother Patrick
(lead in the gold medal quartet MATERPIECE) and their dad David sang in a
quartet DON’T TELL MOM this past weekend that won the Far Western District
quartet contest. Congrats Jordan and family.
David Ellis was in the
quartet that won the Pioneer district contest called HEMIDEMISEMIQUAVER4.
Congrats.
Michael Gilmore sang with the Alliance chorus this past weekend
in the Johnny Appleseed District chorus contest where they took second
place.
Until next time – editorjack!
