Looking Back on the Feb. 21 and Feb. 23, 2023 Alexandria Hybrid Chapter Meetings
The Alexandria Chapter meeting on Feb. 21 was for Metro Voices only. They met at the Scottish Rite Temple (SRT) and worked on “It Don’t Mean a Thing” and “I Can See the Light.”
The Harmonizers did not meet on Feb. 21and instead they will gather at the Aslin Brewery, 847 South Pickett St., Alexandria, VA 22304, at 7 pm on Thursday, Feb. 23.
A riser crew set things up before the meeting which was held in the auditorium at SRT. Cy Shuster set up the sound for their session, and Terry Reynolds was on hand to coordinate the evening.
Assistant director, Maggie McAlexander, welcomed the Metro Voices singers on the risers and conducted the warm up session. Interim director Tessa Walker conducted the music work session for the ensemble.
The Metro Voices singers checked in and made name tags before going into the meeting room. There was one guest this week.
The alternative Alexandria Chapter meeting for the Harmonizers was on Feb. 23 and was held at the Aslin Taproom Brewery on South Picket Street. This was a special event for the Harmonizers organized by membership director Jacob Broude starting at 7 pm. About a dozen men made it out for the evening. It was Trivia night, and the Harmonizer team did pretty well!
There was an “office hours” gathering at the Harmo House earlier in the evening, from 6:30 – 7:30 pm, for anyone who wanted to work on music or get help from the music team on current songs. Lance Fisher and Jason Lee plus Sophie Clarke from Metro Voices were there to help the half-dozen Harmonizers work on their music.
Until next time – editorjack!
